I've been looking into (and downloading) podcasts for German and using Michel Thomas, and I'll keep doing 2 or 3 lessons a day until I feel I need to slow down.
I haven't had to repeat lessons yet, mainly because I don't stop with it until I can understand it very well.
Would you guys recommend Deutsche Welle?

I've only looked at the Deutsche Welle courses briefly, but I think that they seem to be well done and would recommend them. I know they have a variety of courses, and I only checked out the more intermediate courses, but the programmes I saw included video segments to help with listening comprehension, as well as word lists and transcripts of the speech. As far as I am concerned, these things make it far more useful than some other commercial programmes.
