What does que bien lastima no puedo espanol ni yo ingles mean?

This sentence is a bit confusing and grammatically incorrect. It seems to be trying to express something like:

"It's a shame I don't speak Spanish or English."

Here's a breakdown of the issues:

* "que bien lastima": This is a strange combination. "Que bien" usually means "how good" and "lastima" means "pity" or "shame." This phrase doesn't make grammatical sense together.

* "no puedo espanol ni yo ingles": This should be "no puedo hablar español ni inglés." "Hablar" is missing and the word order is incorrect.

To correctly express the intended meaning:

* "Qué lástima que no hablo español ni inglés." (It's a shame that I don't speak Spanish or English.)

* "Es una lástima que no hable español ni inglés." (It's a pity that I don't speak Spanish or English.)

The first option is more common and natural in Spanish.
