Just like Joel mentioned above there is really no simple rule for "en" or "ett". However, most foreign words (which typically come from French etc) are "ett" words. A suggestion is that when you are trying to memorize vocabulary, use the "bestämt" form. After a (long) while you will start to get a feel for which one to use.

You basically have to learn by rote, if it's an "en" or an "ett" noun.
In this case barn is a "ett" noun while flicka is a "en" noun.
En flicka (flickan )
Ett barn (barnet )
