I'll give the first sentence a try, although I'm not sure at all so better wait for someone to review this..
"Ona bakamayacağım kadar güzel"

"Ona bakamayacağım kadar güzel" |
This form is also very common:
O kadar güzel ki bakamıyorum.
O kadar "spoilt" (what is this? )'im ki hiçbir şey yapmak istemiyorum
O kadar yakınlar ki yüzlerini görebiliyoruz.
Sorry for my English, I don't know how to translate "spoilt" into Turkish.
İngilizcem o kadar kötü ki nasılsın demeyi bile bilmiyorum.

I am just not sure if it is the same thing as you wrote. Because, is "being spoilt" linked with "not doing anything"
I mean, if i am spoilt what is the reason not to do anything?
Just confused about the meaning.

"I am so spoilt that I do not want to do anything"
hmmm...i am not exactly sure either...
i guess it would be a better meaning if it was
"i am so spoilt that i do not need to do anything"
but i am not sure if that is what she meant...

a spoilt person in english is one that always gets their own way.they are called spoilt because they have no regards for others and want the world to revolve around them..also things are usually handed to them on a plate...

So if it were up to you, which sentence would you prefer to use?

Trust me, I think your English is more than OK 
But why do you put 'nasılsın' in your last sentence? Wouldn't it just be 'Nasıl demeyi?' ?

Both are good. I didnt have to use one of them No experiance for me
Quoting Elisa: Quoting caliptrix: İngilizcem o kadar kötü ki nasılsın demeyi bile bilmiyorum. |

it is normal that you were confused... nasılsın must be in quotation marks! "nasılsın" deme: saying "how are you"
"nasılsın" demeyi bilmiyorum: i don't know saying "how are you"
So, it is not "nasıl demeyi".
