I'd recommend Learn in Your Car and Vocabulearn, made by Penton Overseas.
Both are
available in 3 levels which can be bought individually or as a package. It's nothing but
a listen-and-repeat format with English translations, but no "instructional"
explanations on the audio. They come with little booklets that mainly just serve to show
spelling.

From what I've read elsewhere on these forum, the German Vocabulearn has an Austrian
accent, which sounds bad to speakers from Germany. Which is too bad because it does have
an awful lot of vocabulary, although nobody knows exactly they mean by "7500 Words &
Expressions".

I just downloaded a sample because I couldn't believe that. I cannot hear an Austrian accent. Sometimes the speaker sounds very German (but I cannot pinpoint the region), sometimes a bit foreign (maybe because it is very slowly spoken). Certainly not Austrian though (I'm Austrian, I would notice ;) )

I recently finished Behind the Wheel Spanish. It was pretty good, especially for the
price (free, since I got it at the library.)

You might want to look into Behind the Wheel German?

If you're good with audio and don't get tired of listening a lot, then you don't need any "program" at all. Do listening-reading, do it properly, and you will never look back.

I just checked out that system,I have the Harry Potter in German, and that system seems
to work for me:)

Now I forgot almost everything I learned,so I'll start over and when I have some
vocabulary I'll definitly try Listening-reading

Thanks mate:) by the way my mother language is Turkish so if you need any help you can
just ask me;)

I also downloaded that:)I think I'll start with Pimsleur or MT to warm my ears and start
FSI and Vocabulearn, in summer I'll work with the Listening-reading.

After all one of them must teach me:)
