If you have nothing else to do, go ahead.  Everything helps a little bit.  Nevertheless, it is not very efficient:  out of context, you will learn little about usage, frequency, etc, and will soon forget most of what you have recited.  If you pay close attention to the phonetic transcriptions, your pronunciation may improve.
