"Over here" and "in here" are known as phrasal verbs in English. They can't be translated literally so they need to be learned by definitions and examples.

A phrasal verb is made up of two (sometimes three) words to create one verb. They usually (but not always) consist of a verb and a preposition.

Phrasal verbs can be confusing. English language learners and native speakers often struggle to understand them.

It's easy to get frustrated in the early stages of learning when you find yourself struggling to understand difficult concepts. It's ok if you don't understand something. Keep going, and I promise there will be a day when you will be the one explaining phrasal verbs to someone just beginning to learn English.
