Repeatedly; happening many times or on multiple occasions.
Contexte culturel
Germans value efficiency; using this phrase to describe a recurring problem often signals a need for a permanent solution. In Austria, you might hear 'immer wieder' used in a more relaxed, conversational way, often with a slightly more melodic intonation. Swiss German speakers use the phrase similarly, but often prefer 'immer wider' with a slightly different vowel sound. In the North, the phrase is used very directly and often without much emotional coloring.
Word Order
Remember that 'immer wieder' is a fixed block. Don't separate the two words with other parts of speech.
Emphasis
Put 'immer wieder' at the start of the sentence if you want to sound frustrated or particularly emphatic about the repetition.
