Wa alaikome salam.....
I think the thing that helped me the most was when I went to Morocco the family I stayed with actually taught me how to pray. The woman didnt even speak English and I dont speak Arabic but somehow she was able to teach me EXACTLY how to pray and I learned the most there. I am now able to pray by myself and even if my Arabic isnt the best Im sure Allah understands me.
I think the most overwhelming part of being a revert was learning about the salat because when I read about it online there seemed to be so many rules it really scared me because I thought there was no way I would ever get it right but it was an illusion because now I feel I am able to pray with no problem although I must admit I am still a little confused about the hours we are NOT supposed to pray so I just try my best to always pray in the right time and that way I dont have to worry about it.
My suggestion to you is try your best to be there for her questions and if you are able to do so pray beside her so she can see how its done.....watch the way she gets into the positions to make sure her feet are together....her arms are far enough apart......etc. This is the best way to help someone who is probably already very overwhelmed by it all.
