When you are new to crypto, the words can slow you down more than the technology. Terms like blockchain, wallet, private key and decentralised finance show up everywhere, and it is hard to follow a discussion when half the words are unfamiliar.
A good starting point is to learn the vocabulary in small groups, beginning with the words you meet most often. Once you know what a term means, articles, videos and project pages become much easier to follow, and you can spot when someone is using a word loosely.
If you want a plain-English list to keep beside you, read the full 30-term crypto glossary and work through it a few terms at a time.
