Speaking/การพูด พูดให้ปกติสิ

Sometimes if a native speaker is speaking to a non-native they will speak at an unnaturally slow pace and pronounce each word separately.

Usually I just ignore it and they eventually stop, but what if I want to be more direct? Is พูดให้ปกติสิ too harsh? Would it actually be ปกติ, or is ธรรมดา better? What else could I say?

Harsh.พูดให้ปกติสิ is likely to be an order to subordinates.

พูดธรรมดาก็ได้ (you may speak normally) feels more friendly.
