The is no actual difference between the two words "a" and "an". They are just used in different situations when speaking. You will always use the word "an" before a word beginning with a vowel sound, while you will always use "a" in front of a word that begins with a consonant sound. For example, it is much easier to say, "an apple" than "a apple", while it is much harder to say "an ball" rather than "a ball".

"an" is only used before words that start with vowel sounds, such as apple or umbrella.
