Can I say je parle dans anglais instead of je parle en anglais

No, you can’t, as another member commented, this would mean “I’m speaking inside English”.

What you can say:

  • “je parle en anglais”: a typical situation where you say this would be that you are actually speaking English with someone, and somebody else asks you what language you are speaking. So it’s more of a description of a continuous action that is taking place.

  • “je parle anglais”: this would be used more as a general statement, eg. “What languages do you speak?” “Je parle anglais, français, espagnol”; or if you want to tell someone you know English.

That is the theory, in practice you can use “je parle anglais” to describe the current action that I was talking about in the first point. (“Oh, tu parles quelle langue là ?” “Je parle anglais”)

This is not true the other way around: if you answer “je parle en anglais” when someone asks you what languages do you speak, they will understand but identify you immediately as someone who doesn’t speak proper French.
