How to greet in french?
While it’s extremely easy to get around in Montreal talking english, French Canadians love to see and hear non- french speaking tourists do the extra effort to respect and acknowledge their french culture/language. “Bonjour” (Hello) and “merci”(Thank you) are the basics to start or end a nice conversation!
