A very interesting question (Very good/Very nice)
Could anyone tell me the difference between Very Good and Very Nice.
Nice is for something like food only? when I used very nice in class, I was laughed so I am so curious about these two. Please help!

i think there are many occasions where you can use both. for example you can say "he is a good boy" or "he is a nice boy". but there are some occasions where you have to use only one of them.

It's a shame you were laughed at guest, don't let this put you off trying out your English. What did you say in class? Who knows, maybe your class mates were wrong?
In any case, yes, sometimes good and nice are fairly interchangeable, in others they are not.

Thank you for replying. I was wondering why they(not all, couple of students) laughed at me. I just answered a question. my teacher asked me the taste of the beer. how would you reply if you are asked?

Ah, I don't think they were laughing because you used an incorrect wrong word there. It is find to say beer tastes very nice.
I think it just seemed funny because of the question and context itself. Are you a student under the age of legal drinking perhaps? Or maybe it just sounded as though you drink a lot of beer or are a real fan of it. I think it just struck them as funny, as th
