Say bounjour or salut!
It's known that people in Montreal know the two languages - English and French. However, just as a courtesy you can always start by saying "bonjour or Salut!". It's a way to recognize the language, even if you don't know anything.
Ukuhamba-hamba
Metro and bixi are the best!
If you want to see the city through it's streets and people, make sure you take a bixi (bicycle city network) or metro. The combination is a good alternative.
There are many bike routes in Montreal if you are scared or driving along cars :)
