Linguist here. Child development is not my forte but, as far as I remember, she should be able to understand sentences, but it's okay not to formulate them just yet. Joining two words is the most I'd expect before her second birthday, I guess.
Also, you can't be doing anything wrong. Although we tend to think we "teach" kids how to speak, that's a very "Western middle-class" way of dealing with speech. I remember reading that not all cultures bother with toddlers because they can't really talk back, but it's just a matter of time when the kids pick it up
(Also, feel free to post more often! Don't just lurk in the shadows )
