不好意思,我看不懂英文。
Sorry. I can't read English.
As learners of Chinese, quite often we have to express we don't understand something, especially at the beginning stage of learning. One useful way to express that is to use the potential complement 不懂 (bù dǒng), which means the subject does not have the ability to understand.

我 | 听 | 不懂 | 中文。 |
