SoundFonts
If you know what fonts are, soundfont is easy to get the grasp on. Imagine a MIDI-device, but instead playing the built in sounds, you can download sounds from the net.

MIDI
Signals that contain noteinformation like: Note, velocity, channel, instrument, etc. Not to be confused with audio. MIDI is just signals containing information. MIDI will for example go from a MIDI-controller (keyboard) -> Sequenser (Sonar) -> MIDI-playback device (such as a hardware unit or softsynth)

Audio
Sound from i.e. a guitar or mic. Often recorded to harddrive around here. ;)

Latency
Can be understood as how "late" the signal is. If you are using a softsynth, there will be a delay between you press a key on you MIDI-controller till you hear a sound. That's latency. It's the processing time it takes to understand the MIDI-signal and make the tone based on that information.

Hope this helps
