How do you say...

[Jonathan Smith]

Ok, so now I have gone through the first few beginner lessons and I am learning Good morning, afternoon, evenging, yes & no, thank you and several other beginning words. It is a slow start, but already I have a question....

Everyone knows how to say thank you Arigato, Arigato Gosai Mass, Domo Arigato Gosai Mass, but my question is...

How do you say "You're Welcome?"

I don't get to the forum much, so please email me the answer at [e-mail]

Arigato.

[Jonathan Smith]

Arigato gozaimasu, Max san.
(Did say that one right?)

I am trying to learn, I have limited resources at the time, but I really appreciate the help.
I hope I said that first line right, keep letting me know when I get something wrong so that I can correct it.

[Jonathan Smith]

unfortunatley, I have limited Internet access, and that is only at work, so it is infrequent that I have access to any on-line information. Do you know any books that you could recommend, that are reasonably priced, and available at the local Books-A-Million, Waldenbooks, etc?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
