Q: Can you tell me how to say please + you’re welcome?  Anna

A:  Please depends slighly on what you want to say, but I guess お願いします　onegaishimasu is probably the best way to translate it.  You should use お願いします　 a lot, it creates a very good impression.   You’re welcome is usually translated as どういたしまして　dou i ta shi ma shi te.   But as you can tell it is such a mouthful that most people just say いいえ　iie  instead, which means “no worries” sort of thing.
