Your "nuanced" view leads to the denial of reality. In the real world, output and "serious study" (which I assume you mean explicit grammar have minor, short term benefits and it's unclear (also probably untrue) that they contribute to language acquisition in the long run.

AHhhhhhhhhhh this problem, it's choking me. Europe is too far and I have no way to live there.

Wouldn't it be good if your country had lax immigration laws so you could chat up norwegian hotties?
Esperanto is a niche language and apparently shouldn't be too difficult. I would learn it for that reason personally, but it's true that I'm learning Portuguese instead because that'd be a lot more useful

The main method they are using is called 'TPRS', which is simply storytelling in the target language, while using visual cues to facilitate comprehensibility. More info here: teachingcomprehensibly.com/tprs/ Here's a method called a 'Cross Talk' which applies the same above principles, but with a twist: both parties teach each other simultaneously; speaking their own languages. >Polish/Japanese: youtube.com/watch?v=V3qqYyQC9ww
