Religious studies vs English language A level

I'm currently taking English language A level but I do not find it particularly interesting. I'm taking Maths, further maths and physics so I wanted to do something different as a fourth. I am not sure whether I should switch to religious studies, advice from people who have taken either or both (RS and lang) would be much appreciated! Will English language get more interesting over time?

hi, I currently do English language (aqa)
it will vary from school to school which order you do, but mine did it in order of the papers. this means doing some annotating of extracts, then child language acquisition (how kids learn to read, write and speak), which I’ve loved. paper two has power and occupation (language of careers, politics etc aswell as accents, dialects etc) and world English / history of English, plus extracts, then creative writing (non-fiction). the coursework is also quite nice as it’s really open with what you want to do research on, almost like an EPQ, as long as it relates to language you’re alright

I do RS and I love it. I do OCR so can only speak for that specific course but I find that there is a lot of opportunity to debate and express my opinion, which I enjoy a lot. I absolutely hated English at GCSE so I was never going to do it at A-level, so I can't really help with you that. If you have any questions, please ask me

Are the exams difficult? I had a look at the exam papers and all the questions are long essays, is this challenging or not really?

Did you find the course interesting from the beginning? We've started with language and gender and the key terms you need to know for spoken language which I do not think is the most interesting part, but the child language acquisition does seem really interesting.
