vocabulary
'Wortschatz' and 'Terminologie' both refer to a set of words. 'Wortschatz' is more general: it can mean all the words a person knows, or the words of a language. 'Terminologie' is more specific and means the technical terms of a particular field, such as medicine, law, or technology. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with words. When talking about normal speaking and learning, 'Wortschatz' usually fits best. When talking about precise technical terms, 'Terminologie' is more natural.
