。。。但是我学习中文学得不等于五年
I've been meeting so many chinese friends and I think it's good for me to go over the same conversations to consolidate my introductory sentences. But I have a trouble regarding my answer to the question "你学习中文多久了"
In this case, my answer is that it's been more than 5 years since I've begun studying chinese, BUT it's not worthy of a 5 year study at all, because I've studied interruptedly. Can you modify below sentence?

-我学习中文学得不等于五年。因为我不是5年来一直学习的

-我学习中文学得不等于五年。因为我不是5年来一直学习的

Answer

我5年前开始学习中文，但是断断续续的，所以语言能力达不到5年的水平

Answer

You can also put it this way:

从我开始学中文起到现在已经有5年了，但是由于我是断断续续地学，所以严格来讲，我并不具有(or并没有)学5年的中文水平。

It has been five years since I started studying Chinese. But I have been studying interruptedly, so strictly speaking, I am not at a five year level.

Answer

虽然我五年前就开始学中文，但我中文的程度和总学习时间不到五年，因为我不是5年来一直连续学习的。

Answer

从开始学习，到现在已经5年了，但一直是在间断性的学习。

Answer

I will give you a correction as fewer changes as I can. 我是五年前开始学中文的，但不等于学了五年，因为五年来我不是一直在学的。
I would say: 五年前我就接触中文了，但一直断断续续的，学得很零碎。（Just one example.）
