degree + くらい

くらい expresses approximate amount, time, or degree, and may also be pronounced/written ぐらい.

Both くらい and ぐらい are common in speech.

駅まで歩いて十分くらいかかります。

It takes about ten minutes to walk to the station.

Do not mix this approximate くらい with more advanced comparative uses like ぐらいなら.

After a number, くらい usually means 'about.'
