Ser = to be, but carefull.
To be also = Estar.

This is a big difference in concepts from English to Spanish and it is usulally harder from English to Spanish than the other way arround.

"Ser" is refared to "be something", internal, like "be ingeligent" "Se inteligente". BE Happy, Ser Feliz

"Estar" referes to a mooth or to a physical place.

Ser is one of the Spanish verbs meaning "to be".
Ser is used for conditions which do not change like:
Soy canadiense = I am Canadian
-but-
Estar is used for temporary conditions such as:
Estoy listo = I am ready
-or-
Estoy aqui = I am here

There are other uses for both as well.

Ser is used for facts that don't change, and estar for those which change. That is the most easiest way to understand them.
So with ser you will talk about somebodies nationality, name, job etc.
With estar everything else.
But remember it goes estar muerto- it's a fact that can't be changed, but it goes with estar.
Mucha suerte!

Ser tells you the general nature of something, the time, and origin. Estar tells you location, condition, and feeling.

For example:
Soy aburrido = i'm boring
Estoy aburrido = i'm bored
