I served as a missionary in French Polynesia about 15 years ago (1995-1996). LDS Missionaries serving in Tahiti are asked to learn and speak both French and Tahitian. The islands one is serving on and the age of the individual you are speaking to will greatly determine what language you will be teaching in. Often you simply would begin with "Hello" (Bonjour or Ia ora na!) and whatever language they speak back in is the one you would continue with. On islands outside of the main island of Tahiti you will find more native Tahitian. The younger generation primarily feels more comfortable speaking French, the older generation Tahitian. Those middle aged are usually fluent in both.
