I was reviewing my notes from my French class and I can not find the meaning of this sentence anywhere. What does it mean exactly?

Can you give us more context?– FractalisteCommented Mar 5, 2014 at 22:22

@Fractaliste The exact example of my notes was "Il ne parle que français", and that it is already answered and explained.– PigueirasCommented Mar 5, 2014 at 22:27

If the phrase is used in a sentence such as:
Il ne parle que [le français]
It means he can only speak (and understand) [French].
If it is used in a sentence like:
Il ne parle que de [cette journée]
It means he talks only about that [day].
It means the same as:
He only understands/speaks...
or
The only thing he understands/speaks is ...
