Islam Question

Ok, so I have been really interested in Islam. I'm currently Catholic. But I have a few questions :)

1. Is there a propper way to wear a hijab? I do plan on visiting a mosque some day and I don't want to be disrespectful in the way I dress.
2. I have an Islamic preyer saved on my phone so that wherever I am I can pray. But I was wondering if there is a correct way to pray.
3. If I went to a mosque I'm worried that I won't know what to do in a service or whatever they're called. since I don't speak arabic or know anything about how to pray in Islam I don't know what I'd do. Can anyone help me?

1. yes there is. only the hands and face can show. and the close you wear should not be skin tight.
2. there is a correct way to pray. i'm sure when you visit the mosque they'll help you in that but if you want i'll search online for directions on the specific ways to pray. :)
3. again the mosque should guide you in that but dont worry the people will not be speaking arabic all the time. they only will while praying and if the mosque is in an arab country lol

the next thing you have to do after learning about islam is to choose a sect. the main one's are shia and sunni. when choosing which sect look at valid sources. i wouldnt listen to others if they tell you to choose a certain sect because they might just be saying it because it's there own sect...choose the sect on your own.

anywayyyy Welcome to Islam!!!! i'm sure you won't have much trouble with fitting in :) most mosques are welcoming :D

Oh my gosh this was such a huge help! Thank you so much! I had a dream that I actually went to a mosque and really liked it hmmm maybe it was a sign! Unfortunately I live in Delaware so I'm not sure if there are any mosques around here :( I know there's an islamic comunity center but it's really small
