The scoring in tennis is very different from other sports. Instead of counting 1, 2, 3...the scoring method is 15,30,40,1. For example the first time your opponent misses the serve, the return, or there is an error, you would receive a 15. The same again and you would receive a 30, one more error and you would receive a 40. On the next error you would receive 1 point and start back at 15.
You can win the set when the time is called by the referee. If you have the most points you win that set and move to the next.
