I'm just trying to explain them in terms that I think I personally would've understood more easily way back when I started learning the language. Occurrences of things, like parties, conferences, meetings, etc. La fiesta es en la casa de Juan. Make your brain automatically insert the words "taking place", or "being held", or whatever works for you.
Where is the party taking place? The party is taking place in John's house. Where are the balloons? The balloons are in John's house, because there is a party.
If you tried mentally inserting "taking place" in this sentence, it wouldn't work, would it? Where are the balloons taking place? You can also use it in question form. Are there? Is there an airplane in the sky? B Hay tres perros ladrando afuera There are three dogs barking outside.
I'm evil for presenting this word to you now, because for English speakers, it's often hard to distinguish between when to use "hay" and when to use "estar" and "ser". But I figured I would give you a head's up, so you can get it out of the way. Thanks Neo and ClassicFedora for the responses.
I was aware that the accent changed the meaning of words, but I didn't know how to get it on my keyboard. But, it is becomming more apparent that I need som books to accompany the CD's that I listen to in the car. As I mentioned before, I don't have time for school, so the CD's have been my main only resource for instruction. For the most part, I understand what the two of you are trying to explain.
However, when people start using words like "reflexive" and other English grammar terms to explain spanish, it makes my spanish studies even more difficult. I barely learned that stuff when I was learning english I learned the language of mathmatics very well, though.
ClassicFedora: I would love to hear more about your methods for learning. Did you attend school, did you have books, how often and how long did you study on a daily basis, etc How long have you been studying. How old were you? How in the heck are you supposed to practice if you don't have any spansih speakers to talk speak with? Things like that would not only satisfy my curiousity, but they also may keep me going.
The more I progress and learn about what I have to learn , the more discouraged I get. At the moment, my progress is pretty much at a stand still.

Highly-rated answerer. The difference is the meaning and the way that the accent are used If it doesn't have and is still a question, it's considered as an orthographic error. The difference is that the first one is used to make a question, and the second one for any other purpose.
