About the use of 是
I have a problem: after 是 there can't be an adjective. So if I want to say "I'm good" I say "我很好". I know that it's the same with 忙. But does this work for all chinese adjectives? I mean, if i want to say "I'm tall" I simply say "我高的"?

no,just the same as"I am good",,I mean,when you say"I am tall"in Chinese:我很高。That is queer,you must say!but the rule in Chinese is so.
About the 是，you can use when you say"I am a student"我是学生。
Here you can use "是"because"I am a student"is about you indentity,but the sentence"I am tall"is about your nature,taht "tall"is used to modify you(how you are),but that"student"is identify who you are.
