First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I'd like to know English because I'm a pilot and I'll be an international pilot.

The 'A' and 'An' rule.

'An'

You use 'An' before words that denote a vowel sound.

These letters denote a vowel sound: A,I,E,U,O.

Take a look at the word you wrote. 'International'. It starts with a vowel, 'I'. Therefore you must place 'An' before it.  'An international....'.

'A'

You use 'A' before words that denote a consonant sound. Those are pretty much all the other letters in the English alphabet. (B,C,D,F,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,P,Q,R,S,T,V,X,Z,and mostly W and Y.)

Examples : ' A school'. 'A bench'. 'A teacher', 'A zoo'.

There are of course exceptions since the usage is determined by the pronunciation and not the spelling. For instance one writes 'an' before 'hour' because 'hour' begins with a vowel sound (when you pronounce it you hear it clearly). You will notice you don't actually hear the 'h' in 'hour' like when you hear it when you say 'house'.

You write well. If you were my pilot, I would hope your spoken English is also quite good!
