Adjectives usually go after the noun in french

Tho I'm not sure débutant is really an adjective, the sentence looks wonky to me

[prisma maple]

That's true, but it's not an absolute rule lol (there's absolutely NO absolute rule in french grammar 😭)
It depends on the adjective
For example petit (little/small) will always be before the noun

[humble python]

“Je parle français débutant” looks like I speak beginner French which sounds weird in weird in both langues to me

[prisma maple]

Fair enough

[humble python]

he said "usually"

[prisma maple]

I'd say "je suis débutant en français"/"j'ai un niveau de débutant en français"

[prisma maple]

I know, I just wanted to be precise about it

[lethal geode]

Hence "usually"

Ah zip said it lol

Also doesn't just depend on the adjective, also depends on the meaning
