Making a mess of your language!

Making a mess of your language!

HELP please. I want to make a jokey remark about me ruining the Spanish language. Something like "I am sorry for making such a mess of your beautiful language" !

Best I can get from the translation option is "Siento que estoy arruinando tu idioma"

Is there anything better or more natural I can say?

I'd say:

Perdona que acribille tu idioma (very common expression in the informal you form).

Perdone que acribille su idioma (formal you form)

How about ........

I am making a dog's breakfast of the Spanish language.

Estoy haciendo un revoltijo de la lengua española.
