What is the difference between these?
这 and 那 seem to have similar meanings to me, but I was wondering if there are specific places that they are used? Can someone explain?

Basically 这 means "this" and 那 means "that", although there are some times where you may see their translation swapped, like saying "like that" instead of "like this" with 这样.
There are also other meanings, such as 那 is often used at the start of a sentence with the meaning "so", "in that case", "then", etc.
To keep things simple:
这 = this
那 = that
and for plural:
这些 = these
那些 = those
0
这 = this
那 = that
0
这 = this
那 = that
easy for your understanding.
