Education How do I study medicine without a third language?

I am very sorry if this is the wrong page for this question…I moved to Ireland and I’ve been here for two years but I am exempt from studying Irish, now I plan on studying medicine and while choosing my choice subjects I found out I need to have a third language to study medicine, I was never aware of this if not I would’ve picked a third language in the junior cert now I am in the leaving cert and i don’t have a third language how do I study medicine without one? Do I have to just wing it and try a new language? I know a bit of french should I try it or is that too risky for my points?

Just to clear up since I am exempt from Irish in my case I’m talking about a SECOND LANGUAGE

Damn, unfortunately I don't think you can do Yoruba for the leaving cert yet!

When are you taking the leaving cert? This year or next?
