"I'm no good at speaking in public."
"I'm no good at speaking in public."
The speech part of 'no' is an adverb and that of 'good' is an adjective? Or is there a different thought about that? And could you take a look at this?
So many dictionaries define 'good' as a noun in this case, so I am confused. What do you think?
Thank you so much as usual and have a good and safe day.

I'm no good at... is incorrect grammar but sometimes used in extremely informal spoken English. The correct forms would be I'm not good at speaking in public or I can't speak in public very well.
Good is an adjective in all of these examples, which is why no good is ungrammatical. Good as a noun has different meanings. Well is an adverb in the example sentence above.
