Yeah, I remember hating Ruy Blas for the entire year. Then we got forced to see it in a play. It was nice.

When you read it, most people follow the lexical rhythm. It makes not sense. You are supposed to speak naturally, with the emotion and speed matching the context.

But again, I never had any teachers remotely good enough to realize that and do anything about it.

On key problem is that you need to be really good to be a decent teacher, and after sampling 11 schools because of my father's work, probably encountered 2 teachers that had the skills and cared enough.
