There is no difference but you would usually only say 'Well done you' with closer friends or family.

@Miki_J Possibly. It is a slightly cutesy way to say it, but her reasons for being cutesy could be many. It can also just be extra friendly.
Or it could be condescension.

Thank you.
She didnt say things like that before.
but after talking with each other for a few monthes personally,she said that.
She has been always polite and a mild mannered so i was just curious the differences of "well done you😉"

I checked it in a dictionary but it says the word has two opposite meaning so I didnt understand it well..

@Miki_J If she's normally polite and well mannered then it's very unlikely she was being condescending to you.
It sounds to me like she was proud of you.

yes,she has been always really thoughtful and nice to me. she seemed nice,reserved and polite with saying no jokes for the first month but I feel that these days she started showing a bit more of her emotion or feelings to me.

@Miki_J I don't know your relationship so I can't really say. She could feel something for you or she could just be proud of her friend. Does she teach or talk to anybody else?

@Miki_J You could compare notes with them. Or you could start asking her more personal questions and see how she responds.

I'm a bit scared to ask if it could be rude or I don't know how to ask personal questions..
