All is can be in russian. Все три варианта правильны и используются. "Я говорю по английски" - "I can (onli) speak English", its not correct translation "Я знаю английский".

Sometimes Duolingo looks for a literal but awkward translation, and sometimes it doesn't.

For the audio exercise for this sentence, they're using the relatively new (to me) male voice and he swallows half the word английский. I find he pronounces a lot of things strangely. I don't know what kind of accent he has. I notice that for words ending in ть or дь, he tends to pronounce it as "tch"

TextxToSpeak on Duo is not so good. You can use other sources for learn. In this TTS very often wrong stress, no such intonation, disabed pause.
