Please speak slowly.

You need an adverb as you are telling someone how you want them to do something.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Good morning, Pete.

(1) Here in the United States, my teachers taught me the following:

(a) "slowly" is, of course, the "correct" adverb.

(b) "slow," however, can also be used as an adverb.

(c) Some experts say that sometimes "slow" sounds better.

(d) You are a learner, so you should probably use "slowly."

As you become more proficient in English, you can let your ear decide.

(i) For example, one expert gives this example:

I have Windows 95, but now I'm running out of memory, plus it runs too slow at times.

That expert feels that the "flat" adverb sounds better than the -ly adverb in that sentence.

P . S. Of course, you MUST used -ly before a verb:

He slowly opened the door.

***** HAve a nice day!
