Right now I’m using Duolingo, but I’m getting tired of being told dejeuner means “lunch”. Is there something I can use that’s more localized?

I wish I knew. I work for the government and they even offer to pay for a Duolingo premium to learn French an a trial program, but acknowledge that it’s very much not Quebec french.
I did have some success targeting people from Quebec on Hello Talk, but that’s not really an equivalent app.
I guess this is where that advice to read in French as much as possible comes in, huh? That way you at least build up a Quebec French vocabulary that survives the France French education this owl is delivering :P
Yeah, that and listening to audiobooks read by Quebec speakers has been very helpful. It helps that I’m a sci-fi fan and Jules Verne is incredible. A lot of french audiobooks are free on librivox, though it can be hard to tell who is Quebecois or not.
