Having gone through four of these introductory Pimsleur series (Japanese, Norwegian, Croatian, and now Czech), I now pronounce myself officially sick of them! The main problem for me is that there is too much time spent asking "What do you want to drink/eat?" and not enough time on things I'd find more useful. In short, this series is geared more toward the business traveler (which I rarely am) and less toward the cultural tourist.
However, as a starting point for getting used to a language, I'd still recommend the series. It just needs some serious supplementation.
