How to learn a new role when playing at a higher level?

Hello there, I am a summoner that is currently ranked gold V and is always looking to get better.

In keeping with that motto, I'm wondering how the hell you get better at a role that you don't know very well when playing at this level? Namely, I would like to learn jungle, but every time I play, no matter how well I do early, i always end up behind later on in the game. Not just behind the enemy team, but namely the enemy jungler.

I don't know how to keep up in farm, or for that matter how to become relevant again in game if I fall behind early.

Can someone (preferrably higher level) give me some advice, or might even coach me over skype or in a game on how they jungle? Any comments would be most appreciated, thanks!

Tax lanes! Taxtaxtax. Obama tax that shit, as Trick2g would say. If there is ever an empty lane, go push it. If you ever successfully gank for a lane, help them push to tower before you leave to go back to the jungle. You don't want to cripple your lanes, so only take a few of the last hits if they're still in the lane too, but keeping an eye out for any opportunity to push and take some lane CS will help you keep up with, or surpass, the other team in levels/farm.
