Have you ever read Hamlet in english??
I would say Hamlet is not for beginners. I did read it in Klingon when I was was a beginner, about
five years ago, and it was hard. It's just too much to start with.
There are betters things for beginners, like the QQ:

Yes, because it's much shorter. You can see both the beginning and the end of a story in a day
(Hamlet takes months to read and understand), and the topics are about many things.

Gilgamesh is very good for beginners! The sentences are not too complicated, and many parts are
repeated, so it's easy to read. And there is a translation on the opposite page, so you can always
compare.
