This is really helpful i could not pronounce it. It was saying so fast, thank you
Me: *realises im going to fail korean because i didnt even understand that
Because 'You are welcome' is another way of saying 'no problem', in English, whereas here it means 'welcome' as in 'welcome to my country'.
What about 어서 오십시오? <- I think I heard that one on the KTX (high speed bullet train) or maybe on the pre-flight announcements on an airplane. I have also heard something along the lines of "assossayo!" every time when I walk into a bakery, convenience store, etc. This was in Busan, though. What's the difference between "환영합니다" and this "assossayo!" that I heard all the time?

I think this is the same meaning. 어서 오세요 or the more polite 어서 오십시오 is native Korean, while 환영합니다 is derived from a Sino-korean form. In Gyeongsang province they say 어서 오세요 at every shop or restaurant.
I'm a bit confused with 'welcome'. Can someone help me with reading the syllable?
Well, 歡迎 [hwan-yeong], narrow transcription [ɸwa̠ɲjʌ̹ŋ], is a Sino-korean word meaning "welcome", here combined with the verb form 합니다 [ham-ni-da] (make).

I put Your welcome, when saying welcome did it mean -welcome into my home- or Your welcome, as in being thoughtful?
so the welcome in this instance is equivalent to "you're welcome" in English, as in, thank you = you're welcome sort of way?

No, here is welcome a way of greeting and invitation. Welcome to my/our home, store, restaurant, city, country.
Well, no: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy4AWG4XQW0. The 세 is an honorific infix, I think. The difference in pronunciation between the two vowels is dissappearing due to Japanese influence in the first half of the century, anyway.
