Yeah but accent isn't langage, and a Canadian is still understandable.
The main difference is that there is *no* english word in Canadian French while French use lot of (eg cool, hot dog, chat).

He, that's a lot like with Latin American and European Spanish.

Haven't you tried searching on Google? The first result (which is Japanese Wikipedia) says that 蜚蠊 is the kanji spelling of ゴキブリ (cockroach). Just use google.co.jp in case you get Chinese results.

Here's my suggestion: Don't use language textbooks. 99% of them suck ass and it's almost guaranteed that your French will end up just as shitty as your English if you rely on them.
There should be enough Canadian French media on the net. I know for sure that at the very least, there are a couple of news stations with audio podcasts and the like. Get yourself a Dictionary and you're good to go.
(Sorry, I don't know of any monolingual French online dictionaries aside from Wiktionary, but it shouldn't take more than at most a couple of minutes of googling to find one, if there are any)

Heh, thanks... No, haven't searched Google, I should really start making that part of my routine for looking up Japanese stuff.

If you already know a moderate amount of French, try looking for French T.V. shows, movies, radio, etc. Chances are they will show you how most French people actually talk (well, depending on the medium and subject).

If you're serious, cyberpresse.ca and fr.canoe.ca are two online paper media sources.
radio-canada.ca has to have a television section with a few archived episodes.
There are anglicisms in all French dialects, however as said above, a Quebecer will do their best not to say "weekend, mail" when "fin de semaine, courriel" exist. As long as they're employed.

If you want to learn french, do not only look at Québec, but come in Québec!
Québec city is great, if you go in Montréal, anybody would talk to you in english if they see that's your main languag, stopping your progression.
