They are both conjunctions in spanish
"de" is used as "from" or "of" e.g.
Soy DE Estados Unidos I am FROM United States
Esa torta es DE chocolate That cake is made OF chocolate
A is used usually as "to" but there are other uses such as when making a question
Voy A el cine (you can also say voy AL cine) I'm going TO the movies
A donde vas? WHERE are you going?

I have the same problem but in English. My native language is Spanish,
a=to
de=from, of
Voy a NY, I'm going to NY
Soy de Guatemala, I'm from Guatemala
Lo mejor de todo, The best of all
I like all of you, Me gusta todo de ti/vos/tu/usted

'de' means 'from': Este regalo es de tu hermana....This gift is from your sister.
'a' means 'to': Yo voy a la tienda en dos horas....I'm going to the store in two hours.
