Every French noun is either masculine or feminine. To talk about a masculine person, place, or thing, use un for 'a' or 'an'. For feminine nouns, use une for 'a' or 'an. ' For the most part, you have to memorize the gender of nouns. But words with certain endings, such as -e, -iè, -ette, -ique, are usually feminine.
Un/une are not related to phonetics, it's about the gender of the noun they determine. Remember that in French all words are either masculine or feminine (often completely arbitrarily). Because "pizza" is feminine. Un is for masculine and une is for feminine.
English nouns — other than those with natural gender, e.g. people or animals — do not generally have grammatical gender, and so are referred to as 'it' rather than 'he' or 'she'. However, modern English has its roots in Norman French and Anglo-Saxon (Old English), both of which used grammatical gender for their nouns.
