Como está hoy? Lo siento, me español es no muy bien.

What I intend this to mean:

How are you today? I'm sorry, my Spanish is not very good.

¿Cómo está hoy? Lo siento, mi español no es muy bueno.

But when talking about someone´s ability of language we normally say "speak", so a more natural way would be: Lo siento, no hablo español bien.

Since it is April 1, I will try the three translators.

¿Cómo te va? Lo siento, mi español no es muy buena.

¿Cómo se siente hoy? Lo siento, mi español no es muy buena.

¿Cómo es hoy? Siento, mi español no está muy bien.

Wow, that's a mess!

I suggest you say, ¿Hablas inglés?

I'm gonna follow Ray's idea of April Fools' day, and provide an interesting -I think so- accurate translation, to blow Spanish speaking people's minds in this same situation.

How are you today? I'm sorry, my Spanish is not very good: -¿Qué pasa? Perdona, pero yo, de español no hablo "ni papa". [Tip: drag the s of "qué pasa" as long as you want: qué passsssa...] (And watch their mouths open wide)
