Por favor, hablas mas lento. = Please, speak slower.

Hablas lentomente, por favor. = Speak slowly, please. ( this one is good if you're taking notes on a subject or something)

Hable más despacio por favor. or in the familiar form to a friend or a child etc. you would say hablas más despacio, which are literally translated as speak with more space but means speak slower.

Oh yea, I have had to ask this many times -- no so often anymore. I have a standard one I use:


  • "¿Puede usted hablar lentamente y claramente, por favor?"

  • (Can you please speak slowly and clearly?)


Yes you want to use "lentamente" This is not a translation of what you posted, but how I ask the same thing.
