A little confused about a certain word

[Felzibub]

What's the difference between La and El? I mean I know El means 'The' but then I came across a sentence that said, "La billetera es amarillo" and it said it meant "The wallet is yellow." @.@

In Spanish we have a difference for THE male and THE female words. THE male is EL and THE female is LA.
For this reason LA billetera (billetera is a female word) and The Book = El libro
Hope you understand me xD I'm not very good at explaining xd

And... wrong place to post, please try to post this kind of things in the School//Escuela subforum. Thank you ^O^
