you speak very clearly vs you are speaking very clear

The correct phrase to use is 'You speak very clearly.' 'Speak' is the correct verb to use in this context, and 'clearly' is the adverb that describes how you speak. 'You are speaking very clear' is incorrect because 'clear' should be 'clearly' to modify the verb 'speaking.'
