I'm trying to complete an essay I have written. I received alot of assistance on this website and I thank you once again for all your help.
I would like if someone could please assist me with writting the following sentence. I'm trying to say the following
"My standard of Irish would be alot better if I had studied it for the past ten years".
Bheadh mo caighdeán Ghaeilge i bhfad níos fearr má dheineas staidéar ar …....
Mar a deir an seanfhocal Ní haon mhaith a bheith ag seanchas nuair a bhíonn an anachain déanta. |

Firstly you are speaking Munster Irish with ''dheineas'', wouldn't it be better to use ''Gaelainn''?

Bheadh mo caighdeán Ghaeilge i bhfad níos fearr má dheineas staidéar ar an nGaelainn le deich mbliana anuas...

Why do you use Gaeilge and then Gaelainn at the same time?
Stick to one. . .

quote:"My standard of Irish would be alot better if I had studied it for the past ten years". Here's my attempt: Bheadh caighdeán mo Ghaoluinne neart níos fearr dá gcaithfinn na deich mbliana anuas ag déanamh staidéir uirthi. I'm not sure if "caighdeán" is used in this context. |

Because people use it? What more justification is necessary than that? |
