The Assimil method for teaching foreign languages is through the listening of audio cd's and the reading of an accompanying book, one side native language, one side foreign language. This method is focused on learning whole sentences, for an organic learning of the grammar. It begins with a long passive phase of only reading and listening, and eventually adds active exercises. Most books contain around 100 lessons, with the active phase starting on Lesson 50. The word Assimil comes from assimilation.

I find the course nice going till the mid of the book. After that the texts became some kind more boring and, according to me, focusing on less useful topics.
As a non-beginner, I find the book quite useful and recommend it for reviving your Czech. It might probably be not very suitable for a huge improvement, though.
