Korean class is Hell

I've contemplated dropping out of my Korean classes. I get so frustrated while I'm there that it makes the experience suck. The teacher uses 0% English during class. That may be okay for people who have support outside of class in the form of a tutor or who have a lot of time to think about the lessons.

I get up at 8:30am and check emails or cram some studying in before heading out the door at 9:15am so I can get to class at 10am. Then for two hours, I try to understand what is going on in class, but I get really angry and want to leave because I don't understand anything and can't ask any questions. Then I leave at 12pm and get home by 12:30pm for lunch until 1pm. Then I juggle for 2 hours until 3pm. After that, I go to work and don't get home until 11:15pm or so.

I shower, go to bed, and the cycle continues. No time to let the lessons sink in or practice during the weekdays. I've got 5 more days of class paid for, so I'm going to finish those and figure out if I'll continue next month.
