Ok so I started 5th year and I don't like french and Irish already. The classes are boring and both teachers don't speak any English in the class at all especially Irish. So anyways I do 8 subjects applied maths as an extra for now anyways but even if it doesn't work out I'm dripping one of Irish or french.
So which should I drop to ordinary level which is harder ?

Stop being a baby and give them a fair shot. You don't even know yet if you'll be able for applied maths.

That is how a language is supposed to be taught. If you don't like it, take it up with the Department inspectors.

I don't mean it to come off like I'm whining about it? What I'm saying is, is that I don't particularly LOVE Irish or french as subjects and science/maths would be more my thing?

Oh I know that's how it's supposed to be taught I just find it too difficult to understand what's going on and I do ask questions after but I don't want to be that person who's always asking questions.

If you have questions, others do too. Be the person that asks and then understands, not the one sits there silent and falls further behind.

You asking questions helps the teacher know how you are doing, plus it may encourage others to ask.
