Surely it may be a good combination.
But I can't get Hebrew Assimil and MT. So it remains untestable for me. I would love to have given it a go though if it were avaliable.
I did find the German of MT very good even though I was not serious studying the language at the time but just giving it a look over.
I recommend all 3 (Pimsleur, MT and Assimil) to anyone. I think the more the better when it comes to exposure in the target language.

...unless it's deathly dull. Nobody learns well when they're bored to tears. Maybe you'll say I haven't given it a chance, but after doing two lessons from a library copy of Pimsleur's Polish I just couldn't really be bothered.

Zhuang, while I would agree that the importance of different learning styles is often exaggerated, discounting them and always going for the simple answer is rather ignorant. The human brain is ridiculously complex.
Ocham's Razor applied to everything leads to racism, stereotyping, and..well, most of humanity's stupid ideas in general.
