Learning to say thank you and you're welcome in German is really important, as it's part of good manners in German culture and it's also really easy to learn.
Danke. = Thank you.
Bitte. = You're welcome.
But do you hesitate to say them?
I used to hesitate, too, until I attended a soccer game (Schalke 04 - Glück auf!) and the crowd taught me the importance of "Danke" and "Bitte."
Ein Fußballspiel, eine Bratwurst, danke und bitte.
Los geht's!
