Thanks Irene! I agree with most of your adjectives, although maybe "obstinate" is a word that we don't use much. On the other hand "bossy" is easy to teach and commonly used in colloquial English. I would also choose "intelligent" instead of "brainy" as the former is the same in many languages. Thanks also for the great list of false friends!
See you,
Pieter

3. The following adjectives are those ones I'll use with intermediate students: easy-going, optimistic, cheerful, sociable, insecure, calm, outgoing, hardworking, intelligent, obstinate.
Iç've chosen these ones as I thing the others are more complexes.
