Valentina Capra is a qualified Italian Language teacher, who teaches private and group lessons in England. Her methods of teaching is borrowed from many sources, and her belief is that getting students to repeat and converse, rather than just read and write is the best and quickest way to learn Italian. You can find out more about Rocket Italian at www.Rocket-Italian.org
Learning any language can be a difficult task, learning any language in the quickest time possible, can be an even more difficult task. Rocket Italian can help you with methods that are not new, but proven to work very effectively.
There is no doubt that the best way to learn Italian quickly is full immersion, for example going to live in Italy, but obviously for many of us that's not an option. Another option could be to start to listen and talk Italian with family (if they are Italian) or friends, co-workers, etc. You could even find a study group or a Italian for English language exchange.
These methods will all help you in learning the Italian language quickly; however, I can understand that sometimes, in our busy lifestyles these methods can also prove to be less practical. Rocket Italian aims to provide you with the same environment. To immerse you in the language, by giving you audio and text to listen and learn, repeat and interact, to try to replicate immersion, so that you are part of the conversation.
Relatively, Italian may sound difficult at first, but really its is quite an easy language to learn, compared to English. This is due to the phonetics of the language, and the fact that the way you read, write and pronounce the letters and words is the actual way you would spell the words. Put simply, the way you read the word is the way you pronounce the word.
Another great reason why Italian could be a fun language to learn is that, really, we all already know, some form of Italian. Most of us already have heard or maybe even said the words "ciao" or "pasta", meaning hello/goodbye and pasta respectively. So adapting words that you already know can make it fun in learning Italian more comprehensively.
There are many reasons, why Italian is easy language to learn and can be learnt relatively quickly with dedication. It is a very flowing romantic language that also has many similarities to the English language, due to its Latin background, and the fact that words from the Latin language are used in both Italian and English.
So whether you're planning a holiday, going to study, or going to live in Italy, If you want to learn Italian by immersion, rather than just buying a book, I recommend one of the methods above, but if that's not practical, then you can find out more about Rocket Italian here at www.Rocket-Italian.org
