Once you arrive in China, you might need to go to a bank. Before you ask someone for directions, learn daily Mandarin phrases such as excuse me, thanks, bank, which and where.

"最好" in this lesson means have to. I have learned "最" means the most, 好 is good. Does "最好" also mean "the best?"

How do you use the Mandarin phrases “不客气” and “别客气”differently? Or are they the same?

Yes, they are the same. . You can use either one when saying, "You're welcome."

Hi, Helen, thanks for answering my question. I've got another question. How does the Mandarin phrase “可以” differ from “可能”?

I am very glad to know that my answer was helpful. In Chinese, Both  “可以(kěyǐ)” and “可能(kěnéng)” are auxiliary Mandarin phrases. The Mandarin phrase “可以” means “can/able” while “可能” indicates a possibility.
For example: 
A: 明天你可以来打球?(Míngtiān nǐ kěyǐ lái dǎqiú ma?) 
    Can you come to play ball tomorrow?
B: 我可能去不了。(Wǒ kěnéng qù bù liǎo le.)
    I probably can’t go.
