There are lots of resources. Learning to communicate well in Spanish will take many months, if not years, so give yourself plenty of time.

Start by learning vocabulary.
cousin = (el) primo | (la) prima
cousins = (los) primos | (las) primas
my cousin = mi primo | mi prima
my cousins = mis primos | mis primas (if all are female)
grandfather = (el) abuelo
grandmother = (la) abuela

Learn how to ask what something means.
¿Qué significa __________?
¿Qué quiere decir _________?

Learn how to ask what something is.
¿Qué es eso | esto?

Learn basic greetings and phrases.
Kumusta po kayo? = ¿Cómo está (usted)?
Kumusta ka? = ¿Cómo estás?
Mabuti naman. = Estoy bien.

¿Cuántos años tienes? = How old are you?
Tengo quince años. = I'm fifteen.

¿Qué te gusta hacer? = What do you like to do?
Me gusta jugar fútbol, videojuegos, .... = I like to play soccer, video games, ....
Me gusta ver películas. = I like to watch movies.

Think of other phrases she might ask you in Spanish and learn how to answer those questions.
