Draft for Common Terminology

Collection/Course/further discussion: a set of lessons that is provided as a whole in a file in kvtml format.
Unit: set of items (most often words) that are grouped together in the collection file; may also contain other Units
Learner: the user of the application (not actually used inside Parley but this is the word we use in dicsussions)
to train: verb used to describe learner's action to start training
to stop training: verb used to describe learner's action to stop training
Session: a limited set of items (default: 20) trained together with a start and a stop. The words in the session are put together from new ones and previously practiced ones.
Mode: Training method, such as Flashcard or Multiple answer or Written. (I would like to use Method for this instead since mode could be used for training vs test when we implement a test mode)

Phrase: a string for that the learner wants to learn the pronunciation
- Word: phrase consisting of a single word+
