你好 佐治先生,

欢迎来本霓。
用汉字“I don’t speak Chinese”是 “我不说中文”或是 “我不说普通话”
但是这样说是一个矛盾,因为
你说中文说我不说中文(开玩笑)。

万事如意

Hello George

Welkom!
“I don’t speak Chinese” in Chinese karakters would be
“我不说中文” or “我不说普通话”
although uttering these words would be a contradiction, since you say I don’t speak Chinese in Chinese!

A more grammatically correct form would be;

我不会说话普通话
wǒbù huì shuōhuà pǔtōnghuà

还是

我不会说话中文
