Is there any site or any method/way to polish my japanese speaking?
My situation was I was made to talk to my soon-to-be boss, to report of my progress on my deployment requirements, and I don’t wanna sound rude to him (and maybe getting fired before I even work) so I chose not to speak that much coz my japanese vocabulary is 70% coming from anime and I’m afraid I might let out a rude version of a word I was meaning to say.
I want to be prepared the next time he wants to talk with me. Send help

If you really want speaking practice, find a tutor on iTalki and tell them you need to work on respectful conversation for work. Especially if you find a tutor who has studied business.
But anyway, if you don’t speak Japanese well, he won’t expect you to speak it well.
Try to be respectful in the ways that you already know how to be. Your boss didn’t hire you because you speak awkward Japanese, he hired you for some other reason presumably and he wants to see you do that really well.
If your interested in reading about this more, it’s called keigo, there are guides all over the place about this subject. Here is one I found from Coto academy that looks decent: [keigo speech](https://cotoacademy.com/japanese-keigo/)
