Article `A’ should be used before European lady.

Article A is used to represent the person or thing which are indefinite.

Here we will not use article`an’ because we use `an’ after words with vowel sounds.

European it sounds like yuropean.

We don’t use article `an’ simply because any word starts with vowel it should sound like a vowel.
