日本語が話せますか。
This is textbook Japanese. Yours should be clearly wrong to a second-semester student of Japanese.
In your parlance, /facepalm.

I didn't say "nihongo wo hanashimasu." Did I? Can you please quote me where I did? Thanks. You're right, "nihongo wo hanasemasu ka?" is technically correct. However, I simply stated what I believe is more commonly said. (nihongo hanashimasu ka) Much appreciation for your concern though.
Also, "nihongo wo hanashimasu" doesn't mean "I will speak Japanese." It means "I speak Japanese." It CAN mean "I will speak Japanese." However, that sentence is rarely said, and probably doesn't mean that in this context.
Also, starting sentences with the word "and" and missing proper punctuation, is "terrifically incorrect." I suggest mastering English before you bash someone's language skills.
Good day
