The following is the main difference:
An adjective (or a noun used as an adjective) is a qualification for a noun, meaning that it better specifies the noun.
An adverb is a qualification (changes the meaning of, specifies) for a verb, or for another adjective;
you can think as the name 'adverb' as meaning 'adjacent to a verb'

Adjective:
1. English is AN IMPORTANT language. ("Important" modifies -- describes -- "language." Older grammar books also label "an" an adjective. Newer books call it a "determiner.")
2. English is IMPORTANT. (refers to "English." Completes the sentence "English is ____.")
Adverb:
3. He speaks English CORRECTLY. (modifies "speaks." How does he speak?)
4. She is EXTREMELY nice. (modifies the adjective "nice." Tells HOW nice she is.)
5. I speak VERY slowly. (modifies the adverb "slowly." Tells you the EXTENT of my slowness in speech)
6. HOPEFULLY, you will soon speak English very well. (Modifies -- refers to -- the WHOLE sentence. A shorter way to say: IT IS TO BE HOPED that you will soon speak English very well.)
