I suggest that you obtain a good textbook for an Algebra I course. In my experience, such books always contain advice on translating words into mathematical expression and 'sentences' (in Math, that is, equations or inequalities).
 
Don't underestimate the Kahn Academy.  Use Google , too.  Finally, do not neglect continuing studies in English.
