AN is used with vowel sound - a e i o u . A is used with the other consonant sounds.

Generally we put an with words starting with vowels and it works but sometimes the word starts with vowel but the sound differs and vice versa.

Some major exceptions are-

A university union european. In these words the sound is of "you". In similar words use a You can also try through Hindi.The sound should be of अ आ इ ई ई ऊ ए‌ ऐ ओ औ. Here the sound is य. This doesnt work always though.

An honest hour honour . Here the sound is of O or in Hindi ओ.
