Hi Fernanda,
You have asked a good question. Don't forget to add the 'h' in which :))
You are obviously looking at describing someone. What you have written means 2 different things. If the person is fun to be around and a kind person, I would write- She's a kind and fun person...or the other way round...
If you are looking at saying the person is funny (makes you laugh), I'd say- She's a very kind and funny person....
As a Primary teacher, I have always cringed at the use of 'nice' by my children...it is a non-descriptive word so I try to encouraged them to choose a better word....and there are plenty!! I always ask them what was/is nice about whatever they are writing/ talking about...it helped to extend their vocabulary. Perhaps you could use this idea too? Would help you to develop a large word bank :)))

I think it depends on whether the person is actually funny (makes you laugh) or is just fun to be around (knows how to have a good time). Naturally speaking, I'd go for, "She's really funny and nice." or "She's very kind and funny." instead of listing three adjectives (fun, kind, nice) that are all similar, but I'm a little weird :D Best wishes!

It depends on what you want to say. Funny - she makes people laugh. Fun - it is fun to spend time with her.
