'A European' is correct. The first alphabet of the word 'European' is a vowel. However, the sound of the word is more like 'Youropean' and not like the sound of the vowel 'e' in elephant. Hence the article 'a' is used instead of 'an'.

A European is correct though the word started with vowel E.While pronouncing it gives sound of consonent Y.It is pronounces as Youropean.Therefore we say a European and not an European.

The correct phrase is “a European.” Even though “European” starts with the vowel letter “E,” it begins with a “you” (/juː/) sound, which is a consonant sound. So we use “a,” not “an.”

"A European” is correct. We use “a” before words starting with a consonant sound, and “European” begins with a “Y” sound.
