Both initialisms and acronyms are abbreviations formed using the first 
letters of words or phrases. However, there's a key difference in how 
they are pronounced:

Initialism: Each letter of the abbreviation is pronounced individually.

Example: FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is pronounced "eff-bee-eye."

Other examples: USA (United States of America), ASAP (as soon as 
possible), VIP (Very Important Person)
