Formal & literary « accueillir » — recognise it, use it sparingly.

Literary & formal

Mastery-level « accueillir »: the register of literature, formal correspondence and public speech. Be strategic about what mastery means here — you need to recognise these forms instantly when you read Le Monde or a novel, but deploy them rarely and deliberately, the way a native writer does: for effect.

Read each example aloud once — hearing formal French in your own voice is what makes it stop feeling foreign — then note the one you’re most likely to meet in reading.

👨‍🏫 How to work at C2

Treat these forms like an actor treats an accent: you need to recognise them instantly in books and speeches, and deploy them rarely, deliberately, for effect. Read one literary page aloud per day; when you meet a rare form of « accueillir », copy the whole sentence into your notebook — context is the memory.

🔊 Example sentences

Nous sommes heureux de vous accueillir.We are delighted to welcome you.
