Language is reading and responding to texts, both fiction and non-fiction. It also includes a non-fiction and fiction writing section. Paper 1 language is fiction, 2 is non-fiction.
Literature is poems, both cluster ("power and conflict" or "love and relationships") and unseen, a Shakespeare text, 19th century novel, modern text.
Paper 1 is is Shakespeare and 19th century, 2 is modern text, cluster poetry, unseen poetry.

I enjoy both and I don't think it's particularly difficult to remember the poems, they are mostly all quite good. Cluster poetry - you get given one poem in the exam, you just have to remember quotes for another to compare it to based on themes, ideas, language, structure etc.

I don't know if you can just do one or the other, that will depend on your school's policy if allowed in the first place.

(This is AQA, I am not familiar with other exam boards for English.)

thanks, are u sure Lang doesn't ask for stuff like *what's a verb* etc ?? and I really hope I don't have to do literature 😔 I want to devote my time to important things like maths and sciences 😣😣

You will of course need to reference techniques and use vocabulary, but it's more than "what's a verb?"
