Jealous is an adjective to describe someone (e.g josh was jealous that Jane is going to the concert).
Envy is usually used as a noun or verb (e.g he felt envy for those who can go to the concert [noun] and he envied people who can go to the concert [verb])

Envy is the word you use when you want what someone else has. Jealousy is the word you use when you are afraid of someone taking what you have. Jealousy almost always involves romantic relationships.
If a neighbor buys a brand new car and you want it, then you feel envy or are envious of him.
If your girlfriend flirts with other guys when you go out together, you might feel jealousy or be jealous.
Many native speakers do use these interchangeably, but it is not technically correct to do so.
e.g.
A: I'm going to Hawaii for two weeks!
B: I'm so jealous!
This is not correct, but many native speakers might say this. The correct word to use is envious because you wish you were in that person's situation. That is, you want what they have.

Just to add on to the above answers, I always thought that "jealous" means you want something that someone else has, and "envy" is much stronger than that and could even mean that you don't want the other person to have it.
People often use "jealous" very lightly and in a friendly way to show that they wish they had/could do something.
E.g. A: I'm going to America next week.
B: Aaahh I'm so jealous!
Other than this example, I don't think these words are used much in conversation or in a positive way. To stay on the safe side, use "jealous". I only really hear "envy" in things like books.
