The phrase "in a general" is not correct and cannot be used in written English.
It is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in a sentence. Instead, you can use "in general" to mean generally or broadly speaking. For example: "In general, people enjoy spending time with their families." This means that most people typically enjoy spending time with their families, but not necessarily all people.
