English is a Germanic language, but it carries an enormous amount of Latin vocabulary. Spanish is essentially a street Latin that became a language, so that shared Latin layer can be converted across with a handful of rules.
English words ending in -al tend to come from Latin, so they usually exist unchanged in Spanish. The spelling stays the same. What changes is where the stress falls.
NORmal) → Spanish stresses the end (norMAL)
Note the spellings that differ slightly from English: ilegal (one l) and anual (one n).
An English vowel can make many different sounds (compare the a in apple and in mare). A Spanish vowel makes one sound, always. Pronounce every vowel exactly as written and you have a good Spanish accent.
Two specifics from this track: i is like ink and e is like elephant, which keeps ilegal clean. And anual drops the /y/ glide that English sneaks into "ann-y-ual", because that sound is not written.
You can already build sentences with these two words.
There is no need for a separate word for "he" or "she" when it is clear who you are talking about. No goes directly before es.
Es normal · Es legal · Es ilegal · Es liberal · Es natural · Es ideal · No es normal · No es ideal
When you look up a Spanish word and it looks unfamiliar, check whether an English relative already exists. Tooth in Spanish is diente, which connects straight to dental. That link is far easier to hold than a random piece of vocabulary.
Where no rule exists, most words are either identical or need an -o, -e or -a on the end. Knowing verbal is verbal lets you guess that verb is verbo.
If you say "verba" and someone replies "ah, verbo", you have just learned the word. That is the quickest route.
