Cognates... or are they?

Ok, so here's some French words. Think you know what they mean? Leave a comment with your guesses and I'll put the REAL answers up later. NO CHEATING! Don't look it up, just see if you know it:
actuellement
chance
demander
librarie
sensible
sympathique
travailler
occidentale

arighty, here's my stab at the "cognates"...

actuellement- actually
chance- chance
demander- demand/ask?
librarie- library
sensible- sensible
sympathique- sympathetique
travailler- to win? prevail?
occidentale- west or from west?
