Is there a easy rule to follow, the difference between Llegar (arrive) and Venir (arrive).

Many thanks

I think venir means to come, not to arrive; llegar means to arrive. That is, llegar emphasizes the end of the journey - ¿Has visto a Juan? - No, todavia no llegó. On the other hand, venir emphasizes the process - ¡Venga! - OK, vengo pronto.

If you use llegar like to arrive and venir like to come, you should be alright.
