I would say "Parece que hablas español." I wouldn't try to work in the "someone" as we say it in English.

I'd rather remove the "s" and say "It seems that...".

Casper, indicative is used to declare, i.e. when you want others to know what you know, think, believe, suspect,... Here, that's exactly what you want, so you must use indicative. Subjunctive is used when you don't want to declare.
