How do you say "Please speak slowly" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use ゆっくりはなしてください (yukkuri hanashite kudasai) when the other person is speaking too fast. Use it when the pace is the problem, not necessarily the content itself.

Chunk or pattern

• This is a fixed request.
• Learn the whole line first instead of rebuilding it word by word.
• It is more specific than just saying ゆっくりおねがいします.

Core words

• ゆっくり: slowly.
• はなしてください: please speak.

Helper words and endings

• ください: direct polite request.

Practical note

You can say this more than once if the person speeds up again. Most people will understand that you are asking for help, not criticizing them.
