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.

4. This is a list of false friends in spanish:

Word -- Real meaning -- false friend

Actually -- En realidad -- Actualmente
Agenda -- Orden del dia-- Agenda
To assist -- ayudar -- asistir
Blank -- vacio, en blanco -- blanco
Brave -- Valiente -- Bravo
Constipated -- estreñido -- costipado
Costume -- traje --- costumbre
Embarassed -- avergonzado -- embarazada
Exit -- salida -- éxito

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
