I used Pimsleur to learn Brazilian Portuguese and was told that my pronounciation was really good and I was easier to understand than my husband who grew up with him parents speaking portuguese. I really like Pimsleur and I kind of have a method. I listen to each lesson typically 3-4 times before I move on and that, for me, really locks it in. I usually do buy a book or two in addition to using Pimsleur because I like to see the words that I'm saying but I have never used another program that I would recommend as much as Pimsleur. Currently I'm learning French and have used in the past to learn basic German and Chinese.
