When to use Me / Te / Se / Le ??

[Vetxpat]

Hi, I've been (trying to) learn Spanish over the last few months and although I have come on leaps and bounds I just can't get it straight in my head when to use Me / Te / Se / Le...

I have asked my teacher for an explanation quite a few times but nothing seems to sink in - I wondered if anyone had a different or easy way of explaining it to me ? Gracias a todos !

They are used differently and in different circumstances, depending upon who or what the speaker is referring to :

Me = me or to myself
te = you or to yourself
se = impersonal, for the reflexive infinitive, reflexive forms of Ud., Uds., él, ellos, ella, ellas.
Le = an indirect object for third person all forms, and for direct objects that are people.

It will all come together with enough practice

Thanks for the very simple answer ! - Why do my langauge books all seem to want to give complicated answers that I can't understand I wonder ?

I'm no linguist, but I always thought that 'se' was used for el / ella / usted, and that 'les' was for ellos / ellas ?

Come to think of it, I think Mr G could be right on this one
