    Check it out.

    The link 'Sakaverde' suggested you is really clear.

    I was trying to find the easiest way* to explain it though.

    Ser is used for:

    1. origin
    2. physical traits
    3. fairly permanent things

    Estar is used for:

    1. location
    2. emotions
    3. state of being
    4. fairly changeable things

    This will be one of the first sections in any good Spanish grammar book.
