When you see a new word, just GOOGLE it. If you're reading a dense text and don't have time to check, write down unfamiliar words and look them up later.
For learning the CONCEPTS behind words, you pose a question or stage an experiment, like a scientist would. Asking good questions and exploring MULTIPLE SOURCES for answers is the key to self-directed learning. It can be a real scenario or made up. "I have 100K to invest into assets, how can I grow it? What can I buy? Where can I buy it? What's a good strategy? Why is it good? Why does it exist? Who is behind it? Is it safe? What are the pros/cons? Can this theory be tested?" Then you research the questions until your curiosity is satisfied.
Economics is not a scientific field where there are definite answers. It's a SOCIAL SCIENCE. It involves people, risk, basic math, and a lot of unknowns. If someone claims to know the truth, you have to be skeptical.
If you take a course or read a book you will encounter new knowledge, but maybe not what you desire to know, or information that is helpful.
