Good site/ storys for learning keigo? - Dairwolf - 2010-01-23
I´m learning keigo at the university japanese course now, and i think i need some more practice than that which is in minna no nihongo (duh). Does anyone now a good site to practice keigo or some good (short) storys where it is often used?

Books written for foreigners learning 'business' Japanese will be heavy on keigo.

Chapter 8 of the Nakama 2 textbook teaches keigo. For a dedicated book on (business Japanese) as Womacks23 suggested is a book we used for our 'Situational Japanese' class. It was;
Getting down to Business: Japanese for Business People
ビジネスのための日本語。
Mine is 初中級, but you can get higher level depending on your Japanese level. It's an okay book, I got bored of it easily though.

The "A programmed course ..." book

is quite well known. This might be what you're looking for.
Most of the "Nihongo notes" books are about respect language:

Good to borrow from the library rather than buy.
This book, "rules for conversational rituals ..."
http://books.sljfaq.org/index.cgi?book_id=470
might be interesting. It uses the dialogue from the "Otoko wa tsurai" films to illustrate its points.
If you have any other ideas, let me know & I can add them to that page.

UBJG has a good chapter on basic keigo.
