Humbly, the translation is:

No, I don`t speak Arabic, I speak in english.

and that language above is not in classical Arabic (The Arabic language of Qur`aan), but the dialects and accents of the people of Sham (Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon).

ah I see jazakAllah khair, Yeah I had a cd that taught modern arabic, the thing about Qur'anic arabic (fus'ha) is no one speaks it I heard, is that true? so if you learnt fus'ha and went to the arab countries you would have a hard time understanding them, but the great advantage of learning fus'ha is that you can understand qur'an and when you're standing for prayer you can understand the recitation of the imaam and become reduced to tears
 
I speak Arabic as I'm originally Arab..

For those who really want to learn it, move to an Arab country and learn it there, you will find yourself surrounded by the language and soon you'll be talking it too :D for most people this will be difficult, so I advise a personal tutor, who can solely focus on you it'll help very much inshAllah.

The Qur'anic Arabic is the highest form of classical Arabic.
and the fus7a that we Arab can speak these days can't reach the Qur'anic Arabic.
Arabs can understand fus7a, and it can differ from person to another according his educational level. when i was about 14 and started to be interested in deen books i remember i was looking a lot into a dictionary (Arabic - Arabic) because there were very classical words which Arabs don't see often. unless he/she is "educated" in one way or another.

fus7a is used in texts, books, news, historical movies/series, poetry.... but as a daily spoken language we don't use fus7a usually.

if you went to Arab countries, you can ask them to speak fus7a with you... they won't mind =)

The only Arabic I know is from the Qur'an. I can understand some of it when it is recited now.

But I still can't read it. It's still squiggly lines to me.
