Manslaughter vs Murder (?)

I might sound very ignorant, but I do not understand the difference between manslaughter and murder.

What I believe what murder is:
I might be wrong, but I believe that murder has the intent of killing the person who is already dead. It is an intent and has a cooling off period before the actual killing, so therefore, it was intentional and not impulsive.

What I believe what manslaughter is:
I think it is when the person does not mean to kill someone, or that the intent is not to kill the person

Someone, please, explain.
