How to Use Abbreviations in English Like a Native

OMG and FYI! Do native speakers use these abbreviations in speaking? This was a question one of my students asked me recently. The answer is: yes! We definitely use abbreviations in daily conversation. I’ll show you how.

In today’s video, you’ll learn about two different types so you know how to use abbreviations correctly. And I’ll share some popular examples for daily conversation.
