Just a little warning: Many of those words have indeed similar meanings in English and Spanish, but several can't be literally translated in all cases... it's good to use a dictionary to make sure that's the word you want to use.
For example: "Solo" only works two ways when you talk about a music solo. "Moral" in English can be rather "moraleja" in Spanish. "Local", "peculiar", "social" can have nuances in both languages that don't allow to use them indifferently all of the time.
