Answer

At that time, you can say " 감사합니다 :)" umm.. "한국어 열심히하세요" It seems to look like imperative sentence, but this connote "cheer you on korean study". so.. next time when you heard it than you just say "Thank you! I hope that your study or work go into orbit :)" I'm not good at english but I tried :p

Answer

you say "감사합니다" which means "Thank You". "한국어 열심히하세요"  is like saying they are cheering you on in your korean study. Its like saying "work hard on korean!" but in a way to motivate you.
