How To teach siri? At the moment i'm just getting old numbers and "Not Recognised"

I had the same issue. So I asked who is my sister. Siri responded I do not know do you want to tell me. I told her and she asked do you want me to remember? I said yes and now she remembers.

There is also a way to phonetically spell names in contacts which I think helps her get the harder to pronounce names.
