Yes, the language itself you should be able to get used to after a while, but the historical context needs to actually be studied.

No Fear Shakespeare is really great, though. Not comprehensive, but the best free resource for quickly understanding Shakespeare. Once you understand the meaning, you'll appreciate the poetry of the original language.
