General Greetings
Surprise your person in the morning with a “bon matin” (good morning) and a smile. They may have no clue what you just said to them, so repeat it. Tell them what it means and have them say it back to you. Say “Bonjour” to your friends and colleagues, and slowly Frenchify your daily routine.
There are other options for you to practice such as:
