"I cannot speak much Chinese" - how would you say it in Chinese?

[Stefani]

Dajia hao,

I want to say "I cannot speak much Chinese", but not quite sure how to say that in Mandarin...

Please help, and thank you in advance.

You could say:

我會講的中文不多 ＝ wo3 hui4 jiang3 de zhong1wen2 bu4duo1

Literally: "The Chinese that I can speak is not much"

Or basically: "I cannot speak much Chinese"

(But this wouldn't rule out that your reading or listening comprehension skills are quite advanced)

You can also say:

我的中文不那麼好 ＝ wo3 de zhong1wen2 bu4 na4me hao3

"My Chinese is not that good."

(This would definitely mean that you don't know much Chinese)

Depending on the context you are looking for, one of those might be more appropriate than the other.

我只会说一点儿中文。wǒ zhǐ huì shuō yī diǎn er zhōng wén. (i can only speak a litter Chinese.)

我会说的中文不多。wǒ huì shuō de zhōng wén bù duō. (i cannot speak much Chinese.)
