"Na ja" is used for slight disagreement, or for summing something up, especially to express that one has to deal with the inevitable. Maybe for more occasions I can't think of at the moment.
"Argentinien ist das beste Land überhaupt." "Na ja, das sehe ich etwas anders."
"Meine Grossmutter ist gestorben, und ich bin sehr traurig." "Na ja, wir müssen halt alle mal sterben."
"Nun" originally means "now", but one can use it as a generic interjection in more or less every situation.

'Nun' kann 'jetzt ,now ' bedeuten, aber im Vergleich zu 'Naja' gibt es dann paar verschiedene Bedeutungen von 'nun' wie:
- Well
- Ok
- Fair enough
- all right
- just
Beispiele:
Nun, wenn es unbedingt sein muß
Well, if you really must
Nun, ja
well (all right) ,yes
Das ist nun einmal so.
That is just the way it is.
Naja
ist umgangssprachig und bedeutet 'well' .
- Aber naja
Oh, well
