    I like it. Here in Brazil we use almost all these answers to "Thank you" (in Portuguese, sure). They say, "Obrigado", we answer like this, "Sem problema" ("No problem!"); "O prazer é meu" ("The pleasure is mine"); "Não foi nada" ("It was nothing"); "É o mínimo que eu poderia fazer" ("It was the least I could do"); and so on.
    So, it's just we Brazilians translate them in English. Thank you for this class, Lucy!

    Excellent tutorial ! So refreshing to have examples of some not so overused responses. One fast food chain in the U.S. trains their associates to say "My Pleasure" after a customer thanks them. I took note and thought, how clever and refreshing ! I've heard of the majority of the responses including the "much obliged" response (much less frequent). I adored how you explained meaning and intonation of each response. I'm Greek so we use intonation much more frequently when speaking to convey intent, joy, or distain. I absolutely adore your series and follow you. I have a few British friends and so I love to hear them speak (and use proper English).

When some hear "no problem" they hear "You're lucky I even bothered." So in other words, it may sound snobby to you, but "You're welcome" actually communicates to many others what "No problem" communicates to you.

    In my experience, "You're welcome" is far from overused. Its shamefully underused. And like anything that is a form of proper communication, it can never go out of fashion or be "over used". Are "please" and "thank you" overused? No. Its just how human culture in the English language processes an exchange.... Yes please, no thank you, you're welcome. They are eternal and transcend fashion.

    This friends only one I've used is "for what". Like it was nothing for me to do it as if all friends should be willing to be that kind of friend.
    While helping people that was in a small need after their thank you i use "woohoo I'm useful.". Normally gets a laugh. Mostly happens because someone that is shorter than me was brave enough to ask for my help. So in gratitude for trusting me to be helpful. I like displaying extra emotion to prove that some people actually enjoy helping others. Small changes can inspire more happiness

    I was hoping my sweet hubby's favorite response was listed and it was. He's an IT wizard and his standard response to being thanked is just about always: "Happy to help!"

    Someone: "Thank you".
    Me: "About time you were grateful you cheeky bastard"

    Please do not say "No Problem" or any reply that begins with a negative - You will be viewed as weak. It implies difficulty accepting a compliment. Replying back with Thank you (...for asking me, or including me, thinking of me) is an excellent response.

    I notice on British TV that often thanking some one goes beyond just ‘thank you’ or even ‘thank you very much’ to go an extra step by saying ‘thank you very much indeed’. In Canada (and probably the US as well) thanks very seldom go beyond a simple ‘thank you’.

    I hate “no worries”. I wasn’t worried when I thanked you.

      It’s not your worries. It means fulfilling your request caused me no worries.
