Generally speaking, 和means "and" in Chinese. For example, "cat and dog" means "猫和狗". However, when you use 和 to make more words or phrases, it has various meanings. Sometimes it means with, as in "和我聊天". Sometimes it means peace, as in "平和". I really recommend you to find more words with 和 inside and try to figure out their meaning, it would certainly help you improve. Have fun learning！

和 means "and", which is mainly used to link nouns: Noun 1 + 和 + Noun 2 For example: 你和我（you and I）,咖啡和茶（coffee and tea）
