My vote also goes to English but to be fair, I am just not much interested in literature itself.
Grammar in my education curriculum is a bit "less abundant" (Less number of lectures). So I find it a bit harder.
Mathematics on the other side, is also tough because of level of difficulties. If you were to go through easy parts like algebra it is somewhat easier than calculus. But, if you want to see the true difficulty of math, check out the competitive Olympiad questions, you would never think of math to be easy ever again.
In a nutshell, literature seems to be tough at first, but it is limited to syntax and the limitations of human expressions, which are intuitive to all of us (to somewhat extent). Whereas mathematics is not bounded by anything, you can define multiple things, which are not intuitive at the first place, like calculus, trigonometry, cardinalities of infinity and so on. That is mathematics is huge subject, and offers various difficulty levels.

You could pick any subject and write about it. What you right doesn’t necessarily have to be accurate. It can be a true, b false, c a bit of both. Imo, understanding something you read is a bit harder than understanding something you write. And oddly enough I found english absolutely unbearable through all of my precollege schooling. My lowest grades were always in that subject. |

I've always been more of a math person to be honest.

Maths is like the language of the universe it almost has no boundaries or ends but for me i do more mistakes in speaking english than doing maths 😂😂

Plus if you know math, you know physics and engineering pretty much too. If you know english, you know... english

My English is surprisingly vast despite living in a country where learning a secondary language (I actually know 5) is more like a privilege. You are likely to believe that English is my mother tongue if you don’t recognize my accent. That said, English is not an issue for me at all.
I’m not bad at math, but alongside Geometry, it’s the subject that I need to study the most for. Very worth it, though. Exercises my brain and upgrades my rational thought + logic.
Currently I’m viewing algebra, mainly Bhaskara. After a lot of studying, it’s like reading a super interesting book.

Sorry if I seemed narcissistic. But that’s the sad part about having to mention your skills and abilities.

I like geometry too along with vectors..Maths is relaxing as you understand it you understand it no need for the effort to memorize |

After enough practice, you’ll be good at both. Happened to me. Once you have to do lab reports, suddenly physics and math ain’t so bad after all |

Sometimes it is not always easy to know where exactly a vector is pointing. Geometry can do a lot to fix that. With algebra, a fancy graphing calculator can more of less get you through it imo. |

But it kinda makes me hate myself slightly. |

I used to be terrible at my engineering classes like statics and dynamics (which I had to take more than once). Once you put the pen to the paper and do lots of problems, you’ll get better. If you want, you can purchase the school software IXL to help with geometry. You get tons of practice problems to solve. |
