B1 Personality & Emotions Vocabulary: Character, Feelings and Mood
This B1 Personality & Emotions Vocabulary module covers 50 words for what people are like and how they feel — reliable, stubborn, easy-going and arrogant on one side; relieved, frustrated, guilty and grateful on the other. Eight character words come back from the A2 family module, so the deck opens on words you already know. Every word comes with flashcards, a word-formation drill, a collocations match and a twelve-question quiz, free and self-scoring.

What’s inside this module
Five stages: revisit what you know, meet the new words, build other forms from them, pair them with the words they normally go with, then test yourself.
Words you already know
A warm-up deck of eight character words you first met at A2 — kind, friendly, shy, generous, lazy, honest, patient, serious. Each card shows what you knew before, what changes at this level, and an example using the B1 sense.
Flashcards
Fifty cards, each with the word, its part of speech, a B1 definition, an example sentence, and up to three typical collocations on the back — stubborn as a mule, put on a brave face, get frustrated, lose your temper. Rate each card “I knew it” or “Still learning” and your ratings are saved automatically.
Word formation
Eight gap sentences that ask for a different form of a word you have just met: confident becomes confidence, jealous becomes jealousy, anxious becomes anxiety, generous becomes generosity. Proud becomes pride, which follows no pattern at all and is worth learning on its own.
Collocations & phrases
Ten pairs, most of them an adverb with the adjective it belongs to: brutally honest, fiercely loyal, painfully shy, deeply grateful, highly ambitious, stay perfectly calm. Choosing the right intensifier is what makes B1 description sound like English.
12-question quiz
A mix of multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank, with an explanation after every answer, right or wrong. Your best score is saved automatically.
How to get the most from it
Five habits that make B1 vocabulary stick, not just pass a quiz.
Sensitive and sensible are not the same word
Sensitive means you feel things strongly. Sensible means you make good decisions. They look almost identical and mean nothing alike, and this pair catches out more B1 students than anything else in the module.
Sort the fifty into two piles
Stubborn, loyal and modest describe a person all the time. Relieved, annoyed and disappointed describe how someone feels right now. English uses be for both, so the word itself is the only clue — decide which pile each card belongs in as you go.
Learn the intensifier with the adjective
English will not say very shy or very grateful if it can say painfully shy and deeply grateful. The collocations section gives you ten of these pairings, and using one correctly does more for your speaking than three new adjectives would.
Come back for the re-deal
After you finish the flashcard deck, it automatically rebuilds itself from just the words marked “still learning.” A short second pass on the hard ones is worth more than repeating the whole deck.
Use one this week
Describe two people you actually know using four words from this module — one character word and one feeling word each. “My brother is easy-going, but he was really annoyed yesterday.” Real people make the words stick.
Where these words come from and go next
The eight warm-up words are from the A2 family module. The phrasal verbs module adds cheer up, calm down and get over; the B2 idioms say the same things figuratively.
