English Language or Classical Civilisation?

I’m in year 11 and decided to drop further maths as part of my A levels choice (my other choices i’ve put down were history, chemistry, maths). I want to take 4 to begin with and drop one later, maybe doing the AS level of it, and my options for a 4th is either classical civilisation (OCR) or english language (AQA).
I’ve always been very interested in linguistics and its significance but another coursework subject on top of history coursework, a research program i’m starting in year 12 and a forced EPQ/research project at school might be a bit much.
Similarly, i’ve been into classics and the ancient world starting from before secondary, only not taking them at gcse due to personal issues, and would be interested in picking them back up. I can’t find loads of information at both subjects at A level though.
To anyone doing either classical civilisation or english language at A Level, how do you find them? also are they respected subjects? would you recommend them?

Would your school have more information on them? It may be worth asking them, so you can gain more info before making a decision.

I'm doing both and I would recommend doing Classical Civ over English language. The workload of English Lang just isn't worth it. and the AOs are really hard to get in essays, no matter how good you think it is. Classical Civ is a doozy if you have any familiarity with the ancient world and is really discussing themes rather than anything concrete.

I’ve read the A Levels Options guide from my school and i’ve asked 2 people who do the subjects but I’m looking for more info
