Not very easily.
Some native speakers still don't get it right, after speaking it for over thirty plus years!
You might be able to get a clue from the articles used;
Un and Le are used with "masculine" words like gateau, jeu, garçon. (Also the possessive adjectives of mon, ton, son)
Une and La are used with "feminine" words like voiture, maison, fille. (And the possessive adjectives ma, ta, sa)
However Des and Les are the plural forms and are used in front of all words. (same with mes, tes, ses)
But there is no "rule of thumb", for example all words ending in "xx" are xx.
Just like in English, most animals have male/female versions, like chien/chienne (dog/bitch), chat/chatte (tabby/tom), that will identify their gender.
Mostly in Québec/Canadian French, job titles are largely gender specific, infirmier/infirmière (nurse), enseignant/enseignate (teacher). The opposite of American "political correctness" using one generic for both like "police-officer".
There are even some words that "go both ways", changing the meaning of the word depending on the gender. And some "newer" words or "imported" words that are one gender in France, and the other in Canada.
In French, the gender of a noun can typically be identified by the article that precedes it. "Le" or "un" usually indicate masculine nouns, while "la" or "une" indicate feminine nouns. There are also some general rules such as nouns ending in -e are often feminine and those ending in consonants are often masculine. However, there are exceptions to these rules so it's important to memorize the gender of nouns as you learn them.
