Is "Je parle petit français" correct? Je parle petit français -> s+v+adj.+n i speak little french. Je parle un peu de français -> i speak a little of french. Je parle un peu français -> i speak a little french. The third sentence seems more common, but how about the others? Merci beaucoup!

The French word 'petit' means 'little' in the sense of 'small' i.e, not big. The English use of 'little', in the sense of 'not much' cannot be translated as 'petit'. The word 'petit' refers to size, not quantity. Small = petit Little/ a little ( ie 'not much') = peu/un peu So A little garden = un petit jardin ( not big) A little money = un peu d'argent ( not a lot)
