"My wife is hooked on Rocket Italian Premium, ok,
she comes home every day and she goes through the lessons.
... it’s a great product, great value."

We’ve
done a lot of research and I was looking for an opportunity to learn a
little bit of Italian because we are going to be going to Italy next
year, and I’ve looked at all the very high priced ones, all the way
down to the very low cost tutorials on how to just speak the basic, not
necessarily completely speak it fluently, but to understand it to the
point where we can get around Italy, and understand certain words and
certain phrases and things like that and be ableto go into a coffee
shop or, go into a market and be able to find the restroom or
understand certain portions of the language.
We
did some research and we started using the free version of the Rocket
Italian Premium or I should say the introduction to Rocket Italian and
we at first took a couple of weeks to say “well is this what we
want?” We also went to a local bookstore and purchased a lesson
in Italian that was a very inexpensive lesson, it was $25 or something
like that. And you get what you pay for, and it was just one of
these things where it ran through all the language and the words and
things like that, and really didn’t have any kind of flow to it.
So we really couldn’t memorize all that data. So we feel that the
Rocket Italian Premium program and course is something you can learn,
something you can easily remember and catch on because of the way you
are distributing the course, by way of Internet, by way of email, by
way of the lessons and your hosts are incredible. My wife is
hooked on Rocket Italian Premium, ok, she comes home every day and she
goes through the lessons. And it’s a great product, great
value. Thank you very much.

"Your
lessons are interesting and practical, they cover a variety of actual
situations that I encounter... you just can't beat that."
...I'm
on a continuous quest to achieve fluency... so I've tried many products
and self study programs. All of them have been boring or require a
degree of discipline that I just can't manage. Your lessons are
interesting and practical, they cover a variety of actual situations
that I encounter... you just can't beat that. The commute in my car
becomes a learning session, the computer games are much better than
flashcards and the scoring appeals to those with a competitive
nature... Quit looking and get learning!
Thanks.

P.S. Want to Know More About Rocket Italian Premium and how it can Help You Learn Italian Like a Rocket?
Please read on...
Learn Italian Like a ROCKET with Rocket Italian Premium!
Dear Italian language learner,
It is my pleasure to bring to you another language learning course from Rocket Languages... ROCKET Italian!! I am thrilled that I have had the opportunity to create this course for you.
I
know what it's like getting discouraged by the experience of trying to
learn a second language in school. It happened to me (when I had to
learn English as a second language) and it's happened to most of us
when we took a foreign language in school. Rocket Languages recognized years ago that there's a better and easier way to learn a second language, and that's why I am proud to be part of the team that is launching Rocket Italian Premium...
If you've ever heard that children can pick up a new language faster
and easier than adults, forget it. This is a common misconception. In
fact, research has proven that the most difficult learning task for children
and adults alike may be the attempt to acquire second language proficiency
in school environments.
Even more distressing is research that shows that less than 5 percent of students studying a foreign language
are able to endure the stressful nature of formal school training to
continue studying the language for more than two years (Asher, James. 1982. Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition. New York: Pergamon Press, 9-32).
What better motivation for us to design and create a language learning environment that allows regular people, like you, to speak
Italian confidently and naturally in less than 2 months!
If you want to...
- feel more comfortable and confident around Italian speaking people
- read books, magazines, and web sites written in Italian
- watch and understand Italian movies
- write to and email Italian speaking people
- or you simply want to become exceptional at Italian for any other
reason...
Rocket Italian Premium will help you achieve your goals in a simple and easy way. The complete package contains over
13 hours of audio lessons in the Interactive Audio Course, Grammar & Culture Lessons
(which include comprehensive cultural notes and lessons on Italian
writing), and the hugely popular software based learning games, MegaItalian Learning Games (for vocabulary, pronunciation, and verbs).

I
would like to thank you personally for the 6 Day Course. I must say
that it was really a learning experience for me and I have certainly
learnt a lot. You have made learning a lot more easier for me. I would
take this experience everywhere I go...
- Kumarie Badal, (Trinidad and Tobago)
I
am having a great time with your course! Thank you so much for
designing a program that forces one to think... and not just try to
memorize words and or phrases. I especially like how you have brought
out lessons in grammar in a way that is usable immediately and not
overwhelming.
- Valerie Menconi, (U.S.A)

I
can carry on a basic conversation with the workers, I can meet someone
new, I can ask them how they are, where they are from, I can shop at
some of the local markets here, I can order in a restaurant. It is an
excellent program, it is very simple it's very quick you can listen on
your way to work, you can listen to it on your lunch hour, they are
excellent, excellently constructed and they really give you a working
knowledge of the language. I would highly recommend them to anyone else
who is going on a trip... or just wants to be able communicate a little
bit better.
It has truly helped me out on my job
and I plan on going through them again and probably go through it three
or four times. ...I highly recommend it. Thank you.

You'll learn to pronounce words and phrases by repeating them in
context, and then work your way right up to speaking entire sentences
on cue.

What's the Audio Course All About??
The Interactive Audio Course is organized into a narrative that moves from very basic interactions (greetings and survival phrases) to more advanced exchanges (booking a room, talking about sports, dinner conversation).
The
lessons also get more challenging in terms of grammar and vocabulary.
For example, we'll teach you how to use the basic "to be" verb, essere,
to build simple sentences and enter the ever-changing world of Italian
articles and adjectives, then move on to express continuing action,
more complex verb phrases, and much more..
The course is divided in to 6 Parts according to topic and theme:
1) Greeting, Meeting, Food, and Drink
2) Travel
3) Nightlife
4) Arts and Culture
5) Family and Friends
6) Cucina Italiana - Italian Cooking
NOTE: Each of the 33 Interactive Audio Lessons comes with a ***corresponding Grammar and Culture lesson***
which allows you to explore the mechanics behind the spoken word. You
can learn to speak Italian without them, but these lessons - which
include photos, illustrations, and embedded audio clips - will undoubtedly enhance AND accelerate your learning!!
PART 1: Greeting, Meeting, Food, and Drink
- Track 1) Introduction & Greetings [18 min]
In this introductory lesson, Alex and Maria take first things first.
You learn how to greet someone and say hello at all different times of
the day (and in both the formal and informal mode of address). You'll
also get a crash course on counting to boot!
- Track 2) Basic Introductions [18 min]
In this next lesson you find out how to ask how someone else is doing
and reply in turn. You'll learn how to ask someone what their name is,
where they are from, and some essential pleasantries by way of saying
it was a pleasure to meet someone! In this lesson you also get some
vital tips on Italian pronunciation...
- Track 3) Survival Phrases [19 min]
Everybody needs survival phrases when they learn a new language, and
we'll come to your rescue in this lesson with a few ways to manage a
conversation that is going too fast, or might just be a little too
advanced for you in the early days.
Not only that, we'll leave you with a handy compliment that you can use
to pay the utmost respect to your Italian host, and get a smile out of
them at the same time.
- Track 4) At the Cafe [21 min]
This refreshing lesson takes you to the counter to order a sumptuous
Italian coffee. But not so fast... you'll have to learn a few things
about asking for what you want or need in Italian first
On the grammatical side, this lesson also shows you how to deal with
adjectives and nouns that all come in either masculine or feminine
forms!
- Track 5) At the Italian Restaurant [22 min]
We really like this lesson, because it is the lesson where we learn all
about the phrase "TO LIKE." I ask Alex what he thinks about Roman-style
cooking, and after he confirms that he does indeed like it, we make
plans to go to a trattoria.
PART 2: Travel
- Track 6) Getting Around [19 min]
In this lesson, we welcome you to your first experience with public
transportation in Italy! But not to fear, you've got an excellent
guide, who will show you how to get to the train station in Rome with
all your limbs - and all your sanity - fully intact!
You'll also find out how to say "excuse me" in Italian, and we'll introduce you to the common phrase, C'è, for "there is."
- Track 7) At the Train Station [19 min]
After you complete this lesson where we are at the train station,
you'll not only be able to buy tickets whenever you need to, but you'll
also be able to talk about how much anything costs after we learn how Quanto costa and Quanto costano work.
You'll come away knowing one of my favorite expressions as well, which you can use to say what you "would like," whatever that may be!
- Track 8) The Perfect Tourist [28 min]
In this lesson we get to relax in the role of tourist. Alex gets a
brochure from the tourist information desk and finds out that he can
take photos wherever he wants. Even better, he figures out how to ask
where a bathroom is before it's too late!
In the process, you will get all the words for directions straight - so
to speak - and come to terms with the sometimes tricky Italian
prepositions.
- Track 9) Catching a Taxi [27 min]
This lesson marks a chance meeting between the naive Western tourist
(played by Alex) and a stunning Italian fashion designer from Milan
(played by Maria). You'll get a first-hand exchange that not only
succeeds in breaking the ice, but also a shared taxi fare to the city!
- Track 10) In for the Night [21 min]
Getting tired of all this Italian stuff? How about a rest? In this
lesson, you learn how to book the room of your choice. And you find out
about words and phrases for all sorts of accommodation options in
Italy! In addition, we go over the titles for Mr., Mrs, and Ms., learn
how to say "How many?" and the best ways to say "I'm sorry."
PART 3: Nightlife
- Track 11) Above it All (at Mt. Vesuvius) [19 min]
This is the first lesson in the Interactive Audio Course devoted to
Italian Nightlife. It is also one of our favorite lessons, because
before we hit the town we take an impromptu trip up one of the most
magnificent volcanoes in the world - Mt. Vesuvius! You'll also collect
some new words for temperature, and how to say "it looks" and "it
seems."
- Track 12) A Taste for Limoncello [18 min]
This lesson marks the beginning of the end for our night time revelry.
We have a quick discussion about a popular Italian liqueur, then
proceed to test our preferences with several rounds of the stuff. Even
if you've never tried limoncello, you'll emerge from this lesson with a mouthful of Italian words to suit any drinking occasion.
On the grammatical side, you find out how to make things "small" in the
Italian language, and how to avoid confusion between two extremely
short but extremely similar words.
- Track 13) At the Night Club [28 min]
After fueling our desire to do some dancing, we head out to the
nightclub, after Maria convinces Alex that it is really not as
expensive as he thinks. The words for "night" and "morning," and the
expression "Oh my gosh!" also feature prominently.
- Track 14) To the Pharmacy [27 min]
After
their night out, Alex and Maria discuss the prospect of taking a trip
to the pharmacy for a sore stomach and head. Go figure! And if you are
bad at making decisions, and need to pick up some phrases of the
non-committal kind - such as "Let's wait" or "Maybe later," then this
is the lesson for you!
- Track 15) At the Market [22 min]
Today is Market Day in Rocket Italian Premium land, when you get to
explore the endless bounty of items on offer - and learn all the words
for them in Italian. You'll also learn how to use the words for WHY and
BECAUSE... Why? Because...
PART 4: Arts and Culture
- Track 16) Sporting Conversation [29 min]
Talking about sports is a great way to make friends in a different country, and soccer - il calcio
- is easily the hottest topic in Italian sport. You find out how to
talk about your history and childhood by way of Maria's memories of her
own soccer playing experience. Along with a gentle introduction to a
new form of the "to be" verb that allows us to talk about the past.
You'll also come away with a newfound ability to use words for
possession, so, just like Alex, you too will be able to talk about YOUR
passions!
- Track 17) Reading Dante [26 min]
Dante is not only one of the great staples of Italian literature, but
also the source of much of the standard Italian language itself. And
that's why we included a whole lesson on the topic.
You'll add a couple more expressions to your conversational arsenal
that you're sure to use on a regular basis, and gain a clear
understanding of verbs that express continuing action (the ones ending
in -ING).
- Track 18) Visiting Florence [32 min]
You can't go to Italy and not visit the heart of its culture and art -
and as we tour Florence, you will get to use that flexible verb for "to
do" - fare
- in yet more flexible ways. You'll enjoy this trip back to the time of
the Italian Renaissance as you propel your Italian language learning
forward...
- Track 19) The Opera [24 min]
Alex and Maria make plans to go to one of the most popular Italian
operas on the planet, and you learn how to talk about what you do and
don't remember, when something is "necessary" to do, and some great
expressions to show your enthusiasm - even if you find you simply can't
be enthusiastic about the opera!
- Track 20) In the Countryside [24 min]
This final lesson in the arts and culture section is a jaunt in the
open country. You get to inhale the crisp clean Tuscan air, and exhale
all sorts of Italian words - including those relating to what you
should always be sure to bring.
PART 5: Family and Friends
- Track 21) A Domestic Event [24 min]
In this first lesson of Part 5 on "family and friends," you join Alex
for a tour of Maria's apartment in Rome, and learn a few simple and
straightforward commands, along with an inventory of words for rooms in
a house.
- Track 22) At the Dinner Table [23 min]
Does the prospect of having dinner at the house of an Italian host make
you a little nervous? Fear not. In this lesson, you'll learn everything
you need to know about exactly what to say before, during, and after a
meal. Plus you get more on the construction of the verb piacere - "to like."
- Track 23) Relationship Advice [32 min]
In
this lesson, Maria shows Alex that he can lean on her, when he needs
some relationship advice in particular. Meanwhile, you learn how to
deal with commands that tell someone NOT to do something, how to use
the phrase for "to think about," and some key vocabulary words when it
comes to men and women.
- Track 24) Homesick [31 min]
In this lesson poor Alex is struck with an acute bout of homesickness
but you emerge with a whole family of new words, along with some simple
sentences that you can use in conversation to lighten the mood at just
the right time!
- Track 25) At the Post Office [28 min]
After this lesson, you'll be able to go to any post office in Italy
with absolute confidence and the power to actually post something! You
also get a quick class on terms for measurement.
PART 6: Cucina Italiana - Italian Cooking
- Track 26) Grocery Shopping [30 min]
Maria has ambitious cooking plans, but before she cooks up a storm,
she'll need buy all the ingredients at the grocery store. You'll learn
how to put a full Italian menu together, not only with all Italian
ingredients, but also all Italian words!
- Track 27) Cooking Show [29 min]
Join Alex and Maria in the kitchen, as they walk through the process of cooking lasagne al pesto
to perfection. Also on the menu are some new words and some old words,
and some stern words from our chef Maria to her assistant Alex... did
someone say something about a kitchen fire?
- Track 28) Italian Beach Picnic [20 min]
You can talk about the weather or you can experience it, and that's
exactly what Alex and Maria do in this lesson at the beach. In the
process, you will learn how to talk about the weather the way Italians
do. You'll also find out how to talk about your pets in Italian, as
Maria's dog will be along for the ride!
- Track 29) Farewell [26 min]
Despite
this being the sad goodbye lesson from Rocket Italian Premium, this
track is without a doubt the most special in the course. Not only do
you learn the perfect way to bid farewell in Italian, you also get a
wonderful surprise that we can tell you involves a classic Italian
song, someone named Maria, and a moment of pure theater...
- Track 30) All Conversations Track [22 min]
We've assembled all of the conversations in the Rocket Italian Premium
Interactive Audio Course into one lesson, so you can sit back, relax,
and immerse yourself in spoken Italian. Talk about making things easy...
- Track 31) Rocket Review Track [33 min]
As we're fond of saying here at Rocket Languages, you often have to go

What You'll Learn with the Rocket Italian Premium Package...
You'll be speaking Italian in no time with our innovative Interactive
Audio course, and you'll also get plenty of supplementary
resources, including comprehensive grammar and vocabulary lessons to help you learn like a Rocket!
The Rocket Italian Premium lessons will teach you to
understand and speak Italian in a comfortable way.
We use many well known words and phrases and situate them in realistic
everyday contexts. We've made the lessons easy for you to learn by
breaking them down into small parts, so you can practice each part
individually and then put it all together...
- Learn Modern Italian... Don't waste your time learning outdated Italian that no one uses anymore!
Rocket Italian Premium is a modern and up-to-date package designed to
be street-wise and still give you the things that you must know!
- Take all the mystery out of the Italian Language, but none of the magic... Each of the 33 Interactive
Audio Lessons comes with a corresponding grammar lesson to reveal the mechanics behind the words and sounds. These exercises will make your learning a breeze!
- Rocket Italian Premium offers you the comfortable learning environment you need: you'll be speaking Italian spontaneously and with confidence. You'll soon graduate to a higher level of Italian speaking performance, as you master more and more aspects of the language.
- The ability to speak a second language is an attractive quality - you will be able to meet new people and open the door to new experiences when your language learning takes off with Rocket Italian Premium...
We've spent a lot of time designing a solution to learning Italian that's
easy to use, and produces results fast...
And that's why Rocket Languages is still leading the way in the field of online language learning products.
Rocket Languages Success Stories:
...I
have to admit that with so much on offer on the internet I was
skeptical at first. I tend to like learning something formally and so I
though the style offered... would not suit me. I was so wrong! The
lessons are so informal and relaxed that it is easy to pick up one or
two words quickly and within a few weeks you realise that you are
starting to understand the structure of the sentence......
The
language games are cool too! I now can quickly get the general
understanding of what people are saying... I really didn't think that
it would happen so quickly.
...it offers so many
ways to learn and it has a great online support. I am very happy that I
went with the online option, because I could pick it up and put it down
in my own time and not feel as though I was falling behind. Once, years
ago, I joined a group [to learn a second language]... but felt as
though I was the worst and slowest so I missed a session; well that was
it then. I never went back and kissed goodbye to about $150. The
experience stopped me from believing that I could learn another
language. ...I now have another few hundred million people on the
planet that I feel confident to converse with and that is an amazing
gift. Expect to learn quickly and without the stress of failure...

Wait! There's More...
Increase Your Knowledge with the MegaItalian Learning Games...
MegaItalian comes as part of the Rocket Italian Premium package
and you can use these fun games to make learning Italian an enjoyable, entertaining, and engaging experience!
MegaItalian consists of three different games... MegaVocab, MegaAudio, and MegaVerbs, which motivate your Italian learning in different
ways...
Learning Game 1) Build a Mountain of Vocabulary with MegaVocab
Leave the schoolbooks behind and increase the number
of Italian words you know with this easy-to-use word recall game! MegaVocab
has over 1000 words and over 20 topics...
MegaVocab features the MegaVocab Creator, which lets you add your own extra words and pictures. You can add
100's of words and pictures with ease...
Check out this screen shot of the MegaVocab game...

Here's how it works:
You start off by selecting what you want to be tested on. You can practice
vocabulary from any of the 20 specialized topics, which
include "Directions," "Food and Drink," "Traveling," and more. When you have selected what you want to be
tested on, press 'Start' and you will be shown a picture and the English
word. Just select the corresponding Italian word from the four options
given. If you get it right first time, then you get the maximum points.
You can continue guessing, with one less point for every incorrect answer,
until you get the right answer.
With a database of over 1000 words you will be recognizing and
memorizing words and phrases like wildfire! What's more ... you can add 100's of your OWN words and pictures, including any specialized
vocabulary list that you need to know!
Learning Game 2) Fine Tune your Ears with MegaAudio
One of the hardest things about learning a
language is being able to understand the spoken word.
With the Rocket Italian Premium MegaAudio game you
can learn to recognize over 1000 words in a short period of
time. Before long you will be listening to your DVD's in Italian
and understanding the entire dialogue...
Here is a screen shot of the MegaAudio game...

Here's how it works:
Like the MegaVocab game, you select the topics that you wish to
be tested on. When you have selected your topics, press 'Start' and you
will be shown six different pictures with the English word for the picture
underneath. The audio track will play the Italian equivalent and you have
to select the correct picture. You get six points for a correct answer and
lose one point for every incorrect answer.
MegaAudio is the perfect answer to the problem of being
able to understand the spoken word. Kick-start your Italian in a practical
and useful way today!
Learning Game 3) Get Ahead of the Grammar Game with MegaVerbs
MegaVerbs has been specifically designed for students who are committed to getting on top of Italian verbs.
MegaVerbs
gives you a fantastic introduction to the world of Italian verbs
in a way that makes recognition and memorization not only easy,
but also completely painless...
Here's how it works:
Just select "GO!" to get started. An Italian verb will be displayed in
its basic (infinitive) form, followed by the tense you are to change it
into and an English phrase that will indicate which form - or "person"
- you are to use. You type your answer directly into the field provided,
and you get four chances to get it right. Four points for getting it
right the first time, one point off for every incorrect answer.

By the time you complete the Rocket Italian Premium Interactive Audio Course, MegaVocab, and MegaAudio... MegaVerbs will be the icing on the cake...
Rocket Languages Success Stories:
Once
you have registered you have 24/7 access to all the interactive audio
and written sections, these are also available for download which is
great as you can pop them on to a MP3 player and learn on the move.
With 2 children it is not always easy to find the time to learn... You
can simply play the last audio course to refresh your memory and off
you go again. It has helped us a great deal already in from ordering in
Restaurants, directions to local amenities and general chit chat...
