Asking Someone to Speak Slower |
In this video, you will learn how to ask others slowly on the phone as an ESL . |
The best way a telephone conversation is that you are not a native English speaker. I recommend you saying, "I'm the language." Or, "English is not language." After the person is aware that English is not your first language, it is important them to speak slowly. The question could sound like this: "Could you please " |
