How can I make my English sound polite? Japanese has what’s called Keigo, which implies respect to the person who you’re talking to. It seems to me English doesn’t have words similar to it. Could you give me some advice about this?

Saying please and thank you is always polite. Also your tone can make a big difference by saying or asking for something nicely.
