Hi Sarah,
Sadly they don't all have 'English names' or even if they do it's not a very specific one (ie 'garden spider', or 'window spider')
Even things like 'zebra jumping spider' (
Salticus sp) or 'false widow spider' (
Steatoda sp), they only cover a group of spiders rather than a specific species.
For a beginner I'd suggest just going for family groups rather than species (which is where it gets tricky).
Once you start to pick up those, then you can move onto the next step.
If in doubt, we're always here to help
