Hello Angelia, I'm also beginner in learning Korean.
So, if I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?
As far as I know, "She is my sister" in Korean:
- Because you are a woman, if you want to say to sister older than you, you can use "eonni/언니".
- Because you are a woman, if you want to say to sister younger than you, you can use "yeodongsaeng/여동생".
- Because you are a woman, if you want to say to brother older than you, you can use "oppa/오빠".
- Because you are a woman, if you want to say to brother younger than you, you can use "namdongsaeng/남동생 or just dongsaeng-동생".
So, the answer of your question can "(그) 그녀는 나의 (내) 언니입니다" (formal). Or (저) 그녀는 저의 (제) 여동생이에요" (informal). Or you can say "그녀는 내 언니야".
Because she = 그녀
is (to be) = 이다 can be changed to many forms with ending sentences, in formal=입니다, in informal and noun ends with vowel=예요/야, in informal and noun ends with consonant=이에요/이야.
my (possessive) = 저의 can be shortened become 제.
나의 can be shortened become 내.
Once again, if I've made a mistake, sorry.
And good luck for you.
