As far as I'm aware it's regarded as common courtesy to greet the controller in their mother tongue regardless. For example on entering French airspace from the UK, I would expect my initial contact with the ATC agency to start "Bonjour..."

Wouldn't this trick the ATC into thinking that you want to speak his/her native language while in facts you can't?

What if they reply "Good morning, l'amour toujour abat-jour [add random french words here]"? Cheesy
