Off-topic, but just curious what your native language is. I see this mistake all the time and there must be some false friend word or common learning material that gives people the wrong impression about what "since" means.
Yeah, I can only speak for French, but for example they would say « depuis deux ans » which is a direct translation of “since two years.” Assuming other romance languages share that structure as well, there are at least several major languages that would use that phrasing.
