Also bilingual, even if I did start early and my mother tells me I watched a four hour TV play of Hamlet at age 3 (How that didn't alert anyone to possible autism baffles me.), and four words into this my brain heaved the same heavy sigh it does when faced with long maths equations or explanations. It just nodded along with the same fake understanding as it does to Shakespeare normally. (That may sound contradictory, but 3-year-old-me was a precocious little shit. _3x10 me_ is another post-prodigy disillusioned-depressed late Milennial who needs everyone to communicate in short. Simple. Sentences. Unless we're discussing pretentious coffee, naturally.)

The reason why Shakespere is difficult to understand, is, horror of horrors, because it was written several hundred years ago when english sounded very different. You seem to think that he wrote it deliberately to be pretentious and snobby, and that you can only understand it if you went to a private school. In reality his plays where shown in the seedy parts of london and people would litter the floor with oyster shells and get a bj from a local prostitute during the interval.

This is like me visiting the UK for the first time and going to a play of Shakespeare: you love the atmosphere they present but haven’t got a clue what they’re saying

I could barely READ it. I can't imagine memorizing it. Lol. Only language: English.

That's a phenomenal read. Surprised you're not a real Broadway actor. You should also post your proverbs of hell bit. Really funny as well. 😊

Your reading sounds just like a recording I have of a reading of his Sonnets. Very mesmerizing.
