Lesson notes:

非常感谢 非常（very, extremely）感谢（thank）-> Thank you very much
非常's synonyms: 很 (very), 太（too, extremely）
so 很感谢您 = 非常感谢您 =太感谢您了= Thank you very much

太...了 is a common pattern in sentences. 了 has no meaning here, just put at the end of sentence.

E.g. 太好了 （very good)

spoken variations: 

多谢   多（many）谢(thanks)

谢谢   Thanks

When someone say this to you, it's polite to say back:

不用谢  不用（need not）-> No need to thank me

别客气  别（don't）客气（be polite）-> Don't mention it

没什么  没（not have）什么（anything）-> It's nothing

都是朋友，还这么客气干吗？

都(all)是(are)朋友(friends)，还这么(so)客气(polite)干吗(for what)？->We are friends. Please do not mention it.

还...干吗？is a common pattern in speaking, meaning (Please don't ...) / (no need to ...)

谢谢你给我的帮助  谢谢(thank)你给我的(you gave me...)帮助(help) -> thank you for the help you gave me.

谢谢您，让您受累了  谢谢您(thank you)，让(make, let)您受累(be implicated, get into trouble)了  -> Thank you for going through such trouble [for me].

辛苦(working hard)了，谢谢您。 Thank you for the hard work.

给您添麻烦了，真不好意思！   给您添(add)麻烦(trouble)了，真(really)不好意思(embarrassed, sorry) -> Sorry for putting you into trouble [to help me out].
