RAM - Random Access Memory. Speeds up your computer by having a short-term place to store stuff. By analogy, if you have a big file cabinet with folders in that you wanna keep - but a small tray on your desk with things you're about to use, the small tray is the RAM.
Around 4GB RAM is plenty for most things.
RAM is 'memory' as most people call it.
Storage is the hard-drive space, eg 500GB.
You can tell which people are referring to contextually, as 500GB of RAM isn't really a thing ... and a 2GB hard drive would be silly.
