If sound can’t travel through space, why can you hear in spaceships?

This probably sounds like a dumb question but I would really appreciate some help! I am very very interested in space but I don’t understand complex topics very well because of my learning disability. When I tried to google this I really couldn’t understand the explanations 🙁 thank you if anyone responds, I really appreciate it!!

Edit: thank you all for responding so helpfully and so quickly, its so nice to not be talked down to for not understanding things

Sound can’t travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium to propagate through. Space is a vacuum, but inside the spaceship is full of air, so any sound made inside the spaceship will travel and can be heard inside the spaceship.
