もう少しゆっくりお願いします。
Mō sukoshi yukkuri onegai shimasu.
Could you speak a little more slowly?

- Politeness: Polite
- です/ます style. The safe default with strangers, shop staff and colleagues.
- When you would say it
- When someone speaks too quickly.
- Worth knowing
- Smiling helps. Most people will slow right down.
