When to use the article and when no to...

I am a little misguided as to when to use the definite/indefinite articles and when not to use them. There have been sentences such as:
- Soy estudiante (Sorry, I can't think of any other examples at this time)
In the case above, you don't use the article
But in the case below you do:
- Bebe ser un alumno o
- Usted es bueno con el español
Someone please explain to me the difference. It was my understanding that whenever you are speaking about someone (as far as their profession or title), you don't use the artilce. Thanks a bunches!

It's a start, but I still find myself confused as well. - territurtle, May 14, 2011

This not an easy question to answer.
Spanish and English use the articles in different ways and situations.
Maybe an expert can clarify this for us all.
I have a flow chart that explains the English but not the Spanish.
