i would say stick with french..russian is hard…cuz i learned french and i speak like a native people from france and canada (i’m indian)
RUSSIAN. keep doing french. i speak russian ad english fluently and a am learning italian along with german. i have no idea how gaelicsounds or how hard it is to learn, but you are already learning french, stick with it! my sister seemed to do that without any trouble.
I would say Russian is going to to be difficult due to it having its own alphabet for the most part.
As for learning Irish Gaelic, go right ahead and learn. As for its difficulty compared to French (specially the Québécois dialect), I wouldn’t know.

I speak 6 languages fluently, 3 others not fluently,and I can tell you that Russian is probably the most difficult of all European Languages. For me it’s also the most interesting to learn. Gaelic is easier to learn but Russian is more rewarding and useful. If you go to former Soviet Countries, like Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, et al, you’ll realize that very few people speak English. Besides, it’s one of the official languages of the U.N. Russian is spoken ( as an official language or second language) in at least 15 countries, it is a language in which you can express yourself many ways due to it’s complexity, and last but not least, Russian Literature is one of the richest and most interesting.
You could also learn Gaelic since it’s part of your heritage, but for practical reasons, most companies in Europe and China especially ,prefer to hire people who knows Russian, in many sectors.
If you are French Canadian, you can simply improve your French by reading French books and newspapers, watching French movies, etc.
Russian is difficult, sure, but it’s not as hard as people make it out to be.
For an English speaker, French will be remarkably easier than Russian. And as a Canadian, you should indeed be studying French.
However, as someone who speaks both, I personally like Russian much better.
