I checked out the Pimsleur language series from the library and transfered to to my mp3 player. It’s pretty helpful but since I don’t get to speak French daily it’s hard to gauge.
I also bought “French for Reading,” a verb book, and a grammar workbook to give me some base in the language (Pimsleur doesn’t come with any materials other than the CDs.)
I also find watching “French In Action” on PBS helpful.
