What does je ne parle le francais?

"Je ne parle le français" is grammatically incorrect in French. It should be:

"Je ne parle pas français."

This translates to: "I don't speak French."

Here's the breakdown of the correction:

* "Je" means "I"

* "ne" is the negative particle

* "parle" is the present tense of the verb "parler" (to speak)

* "pas" means "not"

* "français" means "French"

The phrase "le français" is incorrect in this context because "le" is a definite article meaning "the." When referring to a language, you don't need the definite article.
