In German, when someone says, “Danke”, you most probably reply, “Bitte”. Easy, isn’t it?
But what do you say when someone thanks you in English? You don’t have to say anything. However, if you feel you must, then try some of these phrases:
Thank you!
I’m always happy to help.
Happy to help you.
I’m glad you like it.
My pleasure.
You’re welcome.
I would avoid using ‘no problem’ or ‘not a problem’. We want to be more positive when communicating, don’t we?

When you go into court you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who were not smart enough to get out of jury duty. Now that sounds dangerous! 😉
Sitting at work for long periods of time is linked to a number of health problems, according to this article I found on bbc.com. The statistics are quite frightening. So what is the solution? According to “Get Britain Standing“, we need to promote “Active Working”. This means that we should stand up and walk around rather than spend long hours sitting down – and even consider buying or making a sit-stand work station.
