TonePerfect vs LingoDeer
LingoDeer is the grammar-first course for Japanese and Korean, and the one most reviewers name when someone bounces off Duolingo’s approach to Asian languages. Its script tools and explanations are a real step up. Its speaking side is a recorder without a scorer, which is the gap this page is about.

- ✓Excellent kana and hangul script tools for absolute beginners
- ✓Clean and ad-free, with a coherent path rather than a pile of exercises

En résumé
LingoDeer is the better beginner course for Japanese and Korean grammar and script — clean, properly explained and ad-free. It records your voice but does not score it, so nothing there tells you whether what you said was right. TonePerfect scores every mora or jamo, plus pitch accent in Japanese.
Questions fréquentes
Does LingoDeer check my pronunciation?
It offers speech exercises where you record yourself, and speech recognition is not available for every language on the platform. What reviewers consistently report is that there is no scoring of how you sounded — you record, and you decide.
Which should a beginner start with?
LingoDeer for the grammar and the script, since without those there is nothing to pronounce. Add per-sound scoring as soon as you have words to say — earlier rather than later, because pronunciation habits set fast.
