As long as you greet everyone you encounter you'll have no problems at all. In over forty years I've never had a problem speaking virtually no French at all. That said, a "Bonjour, mon amis" with a big smile will never hurt.
Most of the islanders speak several languages fluently and those you're most apt to encounter in the tourist arena will know what you're saying. Though I must admit, I'd love to hear French spoken with a country twang.
My brother, born and raised in his early life in Newfoundland, moved to the States as a kid and lived in NY until he joined the Navy where he spent his first year and a half in SC before going to Scotland for the balance of his Navy tour. When he finally came home we often weren't certain what language he was speaking and after a few brews, OMG!
Don't worry about your lack of French.....it will be no problem, mon. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
