Re:To drop
Perfecto, Vale! I understand perfectly. It means that you began a course in English at one time, you stayed in the course for several weeks, but that for some reason you stopped after that.

Re:To drop
Yes, that makes sense. In that case, it could be a shorter way of saying "I dropped out of it." A more general answer for the phrase "to drop" I guess could be talking about something you quit doing. For example "I dropped it like a bad habit"
