where to jack?

hey, I need to jack up my car cause ramps won't fit under it, and truthfully I've never driven up on ramps and I'm a little nervous. However, I don't know where to put the jacks and I don't want to make a mistake, so if anyone could please tell me. I'm lifting the front end to change the oil. Also if you use car terms could you explain what your talking about, like describe the part your talking about, otherwise I won't know. Thank you so much

I usually jack on the front cross member.... which is that big chunk of metal that runs between the 2 front tires.
