Read the Pinyin, recall a meaning, then open a story example where one is available. Learn words in phrases: recognition of a list entry does not measure listening, grammar, writing or the ability to use every sense.
名 = noun; 动 = verb; 形 = adjective; 副 = adverb; 代 = pronoun; 数 = numeral; 量 = measure word; 介 = preposition; 连 = conjunction; 助 = particle. Parentheses mark later-level uses. Device audio may choose a different reading for an isolated polyphonic word; use the official Pinyin shown here as your reference.
