What does Je ne parle pas beaucoup de Français mean?

"Je ne parle pas beaucoup de Français" means "I don't speak much French" in English.

Here's a breakdown:

* Je: I

* ne...pas: not (this is the negative construction in French)

* parle: speak

* beaucoup: much

* de: of (used to specify the language in this context)

* Français: French

So the sentence literally translates to "I not speak much of French." While grammatically correct, it's a more direct translation than the natural-sounding English equivalent, "I don't speak much French."
