For English speakers knowing when to us "kein" vs. "nicht" is often tricky as both translate usually as "no" or "not" in English.
"Kein" is used with nouns as in: "Du hast keine Freunde." (You have no friends.), while "nicht" is used with verbs as in "Ich schlafe nicht gut." (I don't sleep well.), but "Ich bin kein guter Schläfer." (I'm not a good sleeper.)

"Ich spreche kein Deutsch." (I don't speak German.) vs "Ich spreche nicht deutsch." (I don't speak German, e.g. at the moment.)
