Maybe a combination of '-not -path':

find . -not -path "./english*" -print

(This will be suboptimal if you have an ./englishnotreally/
directory tree... but using a -path "./english/*" would leave
a ./english entry in the output.)

P.P.S.  For some (old?  non-Gnu?) find, you have to spell
'-not' as '!'.
