Good question ! They all do mean “quite”, but they have different nuances.

なかなか　has the nuance of “getting there”, as in なかなか上手(じょうず） (”pretty good at something”). It can also be used to mean “quite (good), perhaps contrary to expectations”, as in なかなかうまい (”pretty delicious”). It can sound a bit patronising, so be careful!

けっこう and かなり … this is a hard one! The difference is minimal, but there are certain situations where one sounds better than the other. For example, そのテストがかなりむずかしい (”That test is really quite difficult”), would I personally think sound a bit strange as そのテストがけっこうむずかしい. Having said that, the meaning is clear from both sentences. Even Japanese people find it hard to explain the difference (as you can see here: http://nhg.pro.tok2.com/qa/fukushi-3.htm)! Whichever you use, you’ll be understood, so my advice would be not to worry too much about it.

なかなか

けっこう

からり

＿に入るものはなんですか。
私は２０歳の＿＿に結婚しました。
わたしは２０さいの＿＿にけっこんしました。
寺 ・ てら
時 ・ とき
場 ・ ば
人 ・ ひと

The answer seems to be 寺 for the first question and 時 for the second. Am I missing something? It says that 時 is the correct answer for both though…

When I was in Japan last I went to see a Pride event, which is a similar kind of thing to K1. It was the Pride 2005 middleweight grand prix, at the Osaka Dome. The one where Vanderlei Silva (a Brazilian, incidentally) fought Hidehiko Yoshida. Anyway, it was fun. Needless to say, I was in the cheap 5,000 yen seats at the back.

Any other fans out there?

Demasiado brasileiros interesse no japonês!

ありがとう！

I put up a post on the forum here to use this lessons example. I hope you like.

とりあえず、JP101を手伝っていて、この伝言板（メッセージ・ボードで）にコメントとして教科の補足を入力いたします。

今日のレッスンは面白かったですね。レッスンのテーマは「K1 」なので、これについて少し練習すればどうですか？よし～

First, go to the New Year’s eve K1 event site: http://www.k-1.co.jp/event/061231.html . You should see a page with two guys on the left side.

Next, let’s say you want to know the names of the Brazilian martial artists who will be participating. In Japanese, “guide” is 「ガイド」, and 「対戦」 means “match-up” in the sense that two opponents are matched up, so you can probably guess that 「対戦ガイド」 is the section you need to look at.

Click on the link (located in the right-hand side navigation menu–the page will open in a new window). You should see a page with peoples’ names and their nationalities and affiliations written below. Can you find an unaffiliated Brazilian athlete? 「フリー」 in this case, means non-affiliated. How about someone from Holland? Nigeria? South Korea?

When you’re finished, close the window to return to the main page. Let’s say that you’re interested in going to the K-1 event. Where and when does it take place? Hint: this information is located in the gray box text box in the center of the page. You should see the date, start time, end time, and location. Scroll down further to see how much tickets cost. What’s the most expensive ticket? The least expensive?

Now let’s say you want to actually purchase tickets. Toward the bottom of the text box, you can see ticketing info under the heading 「一斉発売」．Obviously you can’t actually buy tickets because the event has already passed, but try visiting the website listed (http://eplus.jp) and poking around. Remember where the K-1 event was held? Well, Osaka is part of the region called Kansai, written 「関西」, so you can clicking on the Kansai tab and trying to find an event that’s also being held in the Osaka Dome–I actually haven’t looked, so there may or may not be anything coming up at the venue.

以上です！じゃまたね～ [m]
