Assimil is a French company producing dialog-based language courses. Their materials are generally considered excellent, but require more self-discipline than the FSI-courses. Many people alter the "official" Assimil instructions slightly to fit more into their personal learning style, by emphasizing Shadowing, transcribing the audio portions of the lessons, etc.
Some people find the Assimil voice actors speak unnaturally slowly during the first week or two of dialogs. During the first few lessons the dialogs are repeated twice. This is to reinforce the totally new sounds.
Assimil has a very wide range of languages available, but most of them are only based in French. Some of their more popular courses (English, French) are available with English, Spanish, Italian and even Russian as a base.
