Aquí - Right here (same spot you are) / Acá - Here (close or next to you) Ahí - here (point out) Allí - There (far from where you are) Allá - Over there (farther from where you are) Acá is more like something next to you, while ahí might be in front or not just right next to you. Aquí & ahí se pueden usar casi de igual manera, allá sería algo lejos o remoto... lo más lejos de todo lo anterior.

Allí, ahí y allá no tienen grandes diferencias, cuando algo está ahí, es porque puedes verlo y lo tienes al alcance. Lo que está allí, es algo que tienes que ir a por ello porque está un poco más lejos y allá, es algo que está realmente lejos. Lo más común es "allí", para resaltar que está cerca diríamos "ahí", y para resaltar que está lejos diríamos "allá". aquí: muy cerca - ahí: cerca - allí: lejos - allá: muy lejos La diferencia de aquí y acá es una diferencia de países, es decir, en España se usa aquí y no decimos acá, y en otros países pasa al contrario.

I always remember my school teacher explaining this. 'aquí' is a place near the speaker. 'ahí' is for places near the person listening, or at least, not as far from this one as it's far from the speaker. And 'allí' is used for places far from both the speaker and the listener. As Albano has pointed you, the form 'acá' is not used very often in Spain. You mostly use it when you know you're referring to a near place, but don't know exactly where it is. Something like 'Tiene que estar por acá' ('It must be around here'), although you can safely use 'aquí' in those cases too. The same happens with 'allí' and 'allá'. Both are for distant places, but 'allí' sounds more specific than 'allá'. Examples: Aquí están mis llaves. - Here are my keys. Tienen que estar por acá. - They must be around here. Por favor, siéntate ahí. - Please sit there. Ricardo está allí. - Ricardo is there (far away). Se fueron por allá. - They went over there.
