"a lot of fun" vs "very fun"

[hunnybunny]

I need your help once again. My Korean students are fond of using this phrase: "very fun". I was wondering if it's actually right. I'm more used to saying "a lot of fun". Which is more correct?

Hi Hunnybunny

Fun is recognized in dictionaries not only as a noun, but also as an adjective, and it is also used as an adjective. But I would call a usage such as "very fun" or "really fun" informal. You should avoid it in formal English.
