(The final a's of "Latina" and "lingua" are long--they're ablatives.) Although both "dicere" and "loqui" mean "to speak" (or tell or say) an dboth can take direct objects, neither one seems to be used with the name of a language as its direct object. So the first sentence here means literally, "I don't speak IN Latin,' and the second means "I don't use the Latin language," ("Utor" takes an ablative object.) Latine non loquor OR Latina lingua non utor. (The final a’s of "Latina" and "lingua" are long–they’re ablatives.)

Head over to the Latinum podcast http://latinum.mypodcast.com This is a huge free online course to teach spoken Latin, and it begins from the very basics, and works its way up to a very high level, in slow increments. You'd say , for I don't speak Latin, something like this: Non loquor latine (I don't speak Latin) or Scientiam linguam latinam non habeo. (I don't know any Latin) or Non peritus sum linguae latinae. (I'm not very good at Latin) Firstly,if that is true, then you should correct this defect! Head over to the Latinum podcast http://latinum.mypodcast.com
