Notes:
这 ''zhè'' and 那 ''nà'' are demonstrative pronouns, which means that they point out where something is. 这 ''zhè ''means "this" and 那 ''nà'' means "that".
Pronunciation point:
You should be careful not to confuse 那 ''nà'' with the interrogative pronoun 哪 ''nǎ''. 那 ''nà'' has a fourth tone falling sound, which sounds commanding or even angry to English speakers. ''nǎ'' has the falling and then rising third tone, which to English speakers sounds a bit like someone who is mildly incredulous of something.

那份报纸是张老师的。Nà fèn bàozhǐ shì Zhāng Lǎoshī de. That newspaper is Zhang teacher's.
Pronunciation point:
这 ''Zhè'' and 那 ''nà'' is the pronunciation you typically find in textbooks, but sometimes they may be pronounced as ''zhèi'' and ''nèi'', respectively. This pronunciation is only used when the words are specifying which is which, as in "Which book out of all of these are Anna's? - ''This'' one."
''Zhèi'' and ''nèi'' is considered to be less standard pronunciation, so there's no reason to worry about it too muc 去 h. If you are living in China and in a region where ''zhèi'' and ''nèi'' are being used you will probably pick them up instinctually, the way one picks up slang. Otherwise, you can never go wrong saying ''Zhè'' and ''nà''.
