Question about English (US)
My English teacher said ''Jpanese people often say 'You're so kind.', but KIND has a deeper meaning like GENTLE. So you might use NICE instead of KIND.''
Is it true?

人のことなら、nice と kind はよく似てる意味を表す。誰かがkindだと言ったら、その人はとても親切だという意味を表すけど、niceだと言ったら、ちょっと違う感じがする。例文 He's a nice guy. 彼はいいやつだな。

It depends on the context, but generally most people would use 'nice'.
One common place to use kind is with the phrase "You're too kind." Which implys in a modest fashion that you belive the other person is being overly generous, like with a compliment or a small gift. Kind is often combined with gentle, but don't confuse the two.

Most of Japanese people think ''親切=kind'' because we learned so in school.
Thank you very much! I understand them :)
