I've even spent a lot of time with native professional tutors who couldn't begin to explain subtleties like which preposition to use with each verb or the mysteries of pronouns (ce qui, tout ce qui, ce, cela - does anyone really know which one to use?) because it's just too instinctive for them. And there are enough examples that I can read and reread them until the rules really sink in.
