I have just started to learn Irish Gaelic and I'm doing a report!
I need to know how to say this sentence.:
God this is a good double cheeseburger!
and these words: I, yellow, a, and have.
In one Gaelic language though, I know cheese is spelt: cáis, but I'm not sure if its Irish Gaelic.

Is buirgear cáise dúbalta deas é seo! = this is a good double cheeseburger!
iss burger cawsh-a doo-bol-ta jass ay shuh

cáis = cheese
cawsh (changes spelling above for grammar)

There isn't a straight forward translation for "I". If you mean like "I go", in Irish the verb is the other way around. It would be "téann mé" where "mé" is the "I" bit.

mé = I
may

buí = yellow
bwee

Irish doesn't have an indefinite article like English. So in Irish, instead of saying "a car" you'd just say "car". Easier, isn't it?!

Have, again isn't easy to translate (you sure did pick the bad ones!).

Tá [thing] agam = I have [thing]
taw [thing] ah-gum
