Prepositions have always been a difficulty for non-native speakers. Being illustrated by pictures is a great idea. Even, I,as a teacher, am sometimes confused. Students tend to translate the prepositions into their first language, and from here comes the confusion. At/in are also a difficulty.

What a great way to learn English with visual help.
I have heard the saying a picture is worth a thousand words, in this case I believe it is true.
Thank you!

If it’s a room of the house it is always ‘in.’ If it’s a place such as a bank or a supermarket or any kind of store, you can use either ‘in’ or ‘at.’ But most Americans would tend to say ‘at the bank.’ If it’s the beach or a park, it’s better to use ‘at.’ And, of course, if one is standing directly in front of a counter, you use ‘at.’ He’s standing at the counter. Or – he’s sitting at his desk. I always joke around and ask “Is he sitting on his desk?” (I then start to sit on my desk.) Or “Is he sitting in his desk?” That also gets a laugh. I’m very physical; that is, I use my body and hands to express the meaning of the word.
