I'm fully cured of any desire to seriously study Chinese.

  I started two weeks ago. I'm doing ok so far. Do give it a try with an open mind. The biggest success factor was deciding that it's not gong to be hard, or that it's only going to be as hard as I consider it to be

    Oh you sweet summer child... I don't want to discourage you, but be prepared for a slog. Try to really enjoy the process. I've been at it for many years studying by myself (not in China), and I've come to the conclusion that it's best to approach the whole thing as my "forever" hobby. Unless you live in China or you can study full time it's very hard for the average person to become really fluent in a reasonable time. But maybe I'm below average.
