Acronyms are everywhere, and it’s even more difficult in a foreign language. So here are a few that I hear or use regularly. In no particular order:

  • IMC: BMI
  • PIB: GDP
  • OTAN: NATO
  • OMS: WHO
  • EAU (Emirats arabes unis): UAE
  • BAC: A levels
  • CAF: Caisse d’allocations familiales : Benefits office
  • IA (Intelligence artificielle): AI
  • SPM: PMS
  • TDAH/hyperactivité : ADHD
  • TSPT/ESPT, usually said in full by the French: Syndrome de stress post-traumatique: PTSD
  • FOMO: FOMO (the French use the English accronym)
  • ASMR: ASMR (same as above)

Did you know them? Do you know how to pronounce them? If you want a special lesson to learn the French alphabet or how to pronounce the accronyms of your choice, send me a message here.
