So + auxiliary verb

1. Vinay plays cricket, so does Ashok.

We use so+ auxiliary verb when second person( Ashok in case of above sentence) shows agreement with positive sentence.
Here in 1 sentence i have no confusion.

2. He can speak French, and so can speak German.

What about this sentences. It seems correct grammatically but doesn't make any sense. French and German are two different language. So if one can speak French than it is not necessary that one can also speak German. So i am confused if it is a correct way to write this.
