“Rome wasn't built in a day.”
Rome was one of the oldest and popular city around the world. This quotation doesn't only refer to the city Rome but for anything that we put our efforts to. To get a successful outcome, we need to be patient and wait for the right timing of things. For example, learning a language can't be done in one day. It would take months and years to get better at it. So, relax and take your time.

🤔 How to...use "a" and "an" ?
It’s common to think that the rule is to use an before a vowel letter and a before a consonant letter. But the actual rule is to use a before a consonant sound (b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z) and use an before a vowel sound (a,e,i,o,u)
It doesn’t matter whether the word starts with a vowel letter or a consonant letter. It just matters how the letter is pronounced.
Examples:
an herbal medicine
a jacket
an hour
a banana
an MBA
a pencil case
an umbrella
So, next time, do not be confused when reading these words.
