I use Assimil using this blogger's plan, which apparently comes from the Assimil Dutch program's own directives.

He also has a second wave blog post which a simple search will find.

That description from the Dutch course is very helpful. I've done the "listen, pause recording and repeat out loud" thing on my second or third listen to a lesson, but it makes sense to get to the point where you can understand it fully without the book first. Understanding comes first, then production, right?

I'm not so sure about Luca's method. To me it seems like you're bringing the active wave into the passive wave, and one of the great things about the Assimil method is the division between the waves. The idea is that you work on understanding fully first, and after a decent gap of time return to easier lessons and work on production. I think returning after that gap of time is what makes the course material really stick.
