* "I don't speak French but very small."
Here's why it's confusing:
* "Très petite" means "very small." It doesn't make sense to use it in this context.
* "Je ne parle pas français" is a correct phrase meaning "I don't speak French."
It's likely that the person meant to say something like:
* "Je ne parle pas français mais j'apprends." This translates to "I don't speak French but I'm learning."
* "Je ne parle pas bien français, mais j'essaie." This translates to "I don't speak French well, but I'm trying."
It's important to remember that languages can be nuanced and sometimes a phrase may be grammatically correct but doesn't make sense in context. Always try to understand the full meaning of a phrase before interpreting it literally.
