If all you want is to use multiple terminals, you don't need all those packages.
Only multi-term is useful for your purpose. (It's possible to do what you want
without any extra packages, but multi-term makes it easier.)
So before you install ace-jump-mode, key-chord and yasnippet, I strongly suggest
you read about what those packages do and consider whether you really want/need
them.
Now, about your question:

This doesn't actually open two terminals. It opens one terminal and then splits
the window in two windows. Both windows show the *same* buffer, however.
The description of the multi-term package (see <https://melpa.org/#/multi-term>)
says that you can create a new term buffer with `M-x multi-term`, which you have
bound to `C-c T`. So press it once to create one terminal, press it again to
create a second one. If you want to see both terminals at once, open one
terminal, split the window (C-x 2 or C-x 3) and then open a new terminal in the
second window.
