Shounen=boy. teenage boy stories. A typical example is Dragon Ball Z, Full Metal Alchemist, etc.
Shoujo=exact opposite of shounen, except with romance, usually school life, and all that other fun stuff added in.
Seinin=...older boy? Not too sure, I never really read any seinin myself. But basically it deals with mature topics that older people would read....I think? Someone else can explain better.

Anything else?

You know there is actually a link called Genres on the right side.
There you'll find your answer. 🙂

You'll pick up words here and there. Just ask in a reply when you're confused and someone will answer for you.

Shounen Ai is romance between male characters 🙂
Yaoi is very similar to shounen ai, but it contains sexually graphic material 😀

Well if you look on the right bar, there's a subtitle named "Genres"
If you click on it, it'll tell you all about every genre.
Except smut.

Which for some reason is missing an explanation =\

But nonetheless, it is my favourite genre x3

Smut is just "pretty sex". Basically sexual stuff that isn't disgusting enough to be porn.
