How do you say i not speak English in french?

There are a few ways to say "I don't speak English" in French, depending on the level of formality you want:

Formal:

* Je ne parle pas anglais. (This is the most direct and formal way to say it.)

Informal:

* Je parle pas anglais. (This is more casual and you would use it with friends or people you know well.)

* Je comprends pas l'anglais. (This means "I don't understand English" and is a bit more informal.)

* J'ai pas l'anglais. (This is a very informal way to say it, literally meaning "I don't have English." It's not grammatically correct but it's common in everyday speech.)

You can also add a phrase to explain the situation:

* Je ne parle pas anglais, mais je peux essayer. (I don't speak English, but I can try.)

* Je parle un peu anglais. (I speak a little English.)

* Je suis en train d'apprendre l'anglais. (I am learning English.)

Remember to use the appropriate level of formality for the situation.
