The internet is one of the vital means for everyone to get various information easily and exact like they’re looking for. The use of internet-based learning that is applied in modern times is very influential in the field of education compared to the past, because it can develop language skills in a country, besides that increasingly sophisticated technology can help students learn in a structured manner. One of the impacts we can see or feel is on the learning process. With the internet, it is so much easier either for the students or the teachers. One of the well-known applications in the world is Duolingo. Duolingo is one of many applications that give so much influence to language learning applications. More than 300 million people already use Duolingo for their learning. The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the User Experience of the Duolingo application. The experimental method was applied using surveys distributed via social media. There are 103 Duolingo users who were willing to take the surveys and answer all of the questions given. The result of the survey showed Novelty’s scale has the lowest mean, and Perspicuity’s scale has the highest. That means some of Duolingo’s users found that the application is less interesting. Hence, that could affect the effectiveness of the application.
