8 Things you could do - an example:
(1) Legal write the word down, check the spelling
(2) (adjective) note the part of speech
(3) Pronunciation
legal (ˈliːɡəl )
Note and practise the pronunciation - especially vowel sounds and where the stress falls. Listen to the word here. Is your pronunciation the same?
(4) Legalise (Leagalize U.S.), Legality, Legally - note the suffixes it takes to create other forms
(5) Illegal - note prefixes to change the meaning (or an antonym)
(6) (i) Related to law/the legal profession (ii) Within the law/lawful - note meanings in English or a synonym so you can explain it if you forget it.
(7) Legal English, legal representative, legal document c.f. law firm - Collocations
(8) (i) A passport is a legal document. (ii) The judge ruled that the transfer of shares was legal. Write example sentences that reinforce the meaning and remind you of the structure.
