It doesn't mean however that you undersatnd something said in English.
It means you understand something said about the English language.

.xorxes., the definition of {ko'a jimpe fi ko'e} is "x1 understands (fi) x3", not "x1 understands /something about/ (fi) x3". So {mi jimpe fi lo glibau} means "I understand the English language".
