Answer
Tracey,
If you have a manual transmission, there is no way easy way to check the level .  There is a fill plug located on the transmission pan underneath the vechicle.  With the car parked on level ground, you can remove the fill plug and if any transmission fluid comes out, that means you're at the proper level.  Else, you would fill it with more fluid from here.

If you have an automatic transmission, there is a dipstick that leads down into your transmission.  You pull this out as you would the engine oil dipstick and check the fluid level per the markings.  If you need to add fluid, you take a small funnel and slowly fill it with fluid right from the transmission dipstick tube.  If not even your local mechanic can figure this out, take your car to the dealership to have it checked there.
Good luck!
