As an English person I will happily deny compliments unless it is actually impossible (sometimes even then I try!), but in Germany it's not considered rude to say if you're good at something. Today, for example, I was helping a guy with his English... to give him a bit of a confidence boost, I told him his English was good. He just said, "Yes." Imagine! In England that's basically the same as saying, "By the way, I'm GREAT... just warning you." But over here it's fine!
