Peace be upon you, and don't stress yourself too much, God understands your desire to submit to Him.
Muslimah_B, I am not sure about praying in another language. As far as I know, it has to be in Arabic, start to end.
Whoops yes your right my mistake astagfirllah astagfirllah astagfirllah , i should have stuck with what i knew and not listend to other people.
(every revert i have known always told me the people at the masjid told then they could pray in *English* untill they learnt the Arabic, i always said no its not possible, then someone else said it who was muslim a very long time so i never questioned them, which i should have)
Narrated Jubair ibn Mut’im: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W), said: "He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyah or who dies for `Asabiyah." [Sunan Abu Dawud (Vol. 2, pg. 753) No. 5121]
Yeah we should pray in Arabic. Duas can be made in English because that's personal. But the salat is kept the way the Prophet used to perform it in which was Arabic. Hope that helped
Thank you everyone one for the good advice and guidance.i will write it down just like muslimah_B did for me and i will start praying the best i can and inshallah soon i will do it without the paper.
Here is the videos i used to learn how to pronounce the prayer, it goes very slow and was the best video i used to learn, in sha Allah it can be of help to you

What is compulsory are the
A) state of purity and wudu'.
B) intention or the niyah "usolli fard ...."
C) the actions
D) the complementary recitations with each action.
For this (D) Allahu akbar for every action except for the 'sami Allahuliman hamidah' part. The Al fatihah for every rakaat (cycle). The atahiyya on the second and final rakaah followed by the salam to the left and right. All other saying is not compulsory. So you can learn them along the way.
Another thing, don't say the Al Fatihah twice. Learn another short surah for that.
Finally, the bit missed out in the written exercise, the bit to recite when you are in the sitting position, well really, that is your dua for yourself. Asking Allah for numerous things.. see that you just came from the sujood position and ask Allah, in prayer, then immediately sujood again.. get the relevance? Sad, but I see so many rush through this...
