Gemara is not a elegant novel, but rather a big collection of roughly recorded conversations and debates of rebbeim in the beis midrash by their talmidim. The style of language used is also more than 1,500 years old and seems archaic to modern people. Gemara is hard, but if you break your teeth over it, eventually you shall have much success. The Gemara itself even says that if someone says they tried to learn and couldn’t don’t believe them!
