Dealing with new terminology

When you first come in contact with a new research field you are almost always restrained by the field specific terms. In order to understand information about the field you first have to understand the meaning of the terms and how they relate. I have gained some knowledge of the terms used in the field I am approaching (that is Information Theory, Information Retrieval, Computational Linguistics, and Machine Learning) but as I learn more terms it seems like I come in contact with even more terms that I do not understand... This is both fun and frustrating and therefore I will start a list of unknown terms that I hope to have gained an understanding of by the end of this project.
