More Japanese questions! Woo hoo!?

I'm just about done with all my kanji questions. :P I would also like to thank all you other nice people who are putting up with me. ;) But anway, I was wondering, for certain compound kanji, how come they're not adjectives, and just nouns in their own right?

For example, the kanji for "mountain pass" is 山道. Alright, but wouldn't mountain be the adjective? Mountain would be the adjective and pass would be the noun, wouldn't it? Or the word garbage man, "廃物人." Wouldn't garbage be the adjective and man be the noun? Is this the way it is in Japanese dictionaries? If you want to make the word "garbage man" do you have to figure out yourself which kanji to use? Thanks.

Taiwan, with U.S , chooses as a first step diplomatic protest, in the hope that the antagonistic firing will cease after the election. Doing nothing clearly would have suggested that the misile testing was acceptable, which it was not.

I took 4 years of Spanish in school, and I really would love to speak it fluently. I buy books all the time and listen to Spanish music to try to stay sharp. My boyfriend has also been trying to teach me a little. I can read and write it pretty well, but I speak it terribly, especially when I'm around Spanish-speaking people (I get so nervous!) and I can barely understand it when spoken. Also, I'm very shy, so that also hurts me.

I'm moving to Miami in a few weeks and I'm hoping that this will be the perfect opportunity to improve my Spanish. What do you think?
