There is an interactive English learning program called DYNED. It has helped me a lot.

Assimil and TY are those that I've used the most, and of course L-R as a method. Colloquial is probably on par with TY but I've only had a glance at it.

Michel Thomas. So far I've only done the Spanish and French courses. The style suites me just right. I like to utilize
the language right away.

Obviously, my favourite programs are Assimil. I now have Assimil for more than a dozen languages. I like their whole approach to language learning. They teach with humour and make learning a language fun and exciting. They take the hard work out of language learning by using the two waves system.
I love the Russian For Everybody course with records (which I now have on cassettes and mp3s) and an assortment of books. I regard it as a fun and friendly course as it is written with humour.
I like Linguaphone courses. The old courses are recorded entirely in the target language. I have no experience with the new courses.
I like the Lewis Robbins Language For Travelers series and the Synergy Spanish program. They both concentrate on the most useful language to get you speaking immediately in the target language.
