The most commonly understood way to ask someone to speak Spanish more slowly is:
Hable más despacio, por favor 
if you are addressing a stranger, someone older you than you or a person in authority such as a police officer.
You could use this familiar form below to address a child, a friend /member of your family or someone you know well:
Habla más despacio, por favor
I hope this helps

You have a typo, Feliz. "Habla" is the informal command...."hable" is formal. - --Mariana--, Nov 23, 2011
Thank You Marianne :) I know why this is I don't normally write in the command form - FELIZ77, Nov 23, 2011

literally, that is "speak more slowly" see comment in other thread or dictionary...despacio is an adverb, not an adjective - 0074b507, Nov 23, 2011
