We've tried hard enough, so it's a good place to stop. Thank you for the discussion.
Probably the most interesting question I am taking away from all this is whether "extreme" (Rambo-style) methods that seem rather unlikely to work can actually work, and work quite well, if one can only unblock psychologically.

My goodness, these discussions sap people's energy and the little free time they have for language learning. People here being mostly me. I am off to study a language I don't like using the most boring, repetitive method imaginable.

If you want, we can start another thread.
By the way, have you seen Arguelle's website?

I am using the "write 100,000 sentences in the forum" method. Boredom is subjective stuff.

So is love, having fun etc.
Boredom is possibly more real and enduring than most things. Love, fun etc. are more fickle and fleeting things that often irresistibly gravitate towards this gray monster. Boredom is also more objectively measureable and induced. It is successfully reproduced on daily basis millions of times in language laboratories, classrooms and homes all over the world. Ultimately, if we need to talk about fun so much it's a losing battle.
