This fact creates many mobile learning (m-learning) applications that were developed to help learners learn the Japanese language independently.

The Japanese language is not only one of the most favorite foreign languages in Indonesian higher education, but it is also considered a difficult foreign language to learn. Mean that the proposed m-learning which is developed with the mental model consideration and designed using A/B testing is able to provide conversational learning experience intuitively. Nevertheless, the study also reveals that an m-learning that employs the conversational mental model in the learning process is more valued by participants in hedonic qualities. Experimental results show that both m-learning versions proved can enhance learner performance in pragmatic attributes. The results then compared with an existing Japanese m-learning to gather the insight of improvement of our proposed method. User experience level was measured based on the usability approach on pragmatic quality and hedonic quality like effectiveness (success rate of task completion), efficiency (task completion time) and satisfaction. A comparative approach was used to investigate the performance of 20 high-grade students with homogenous backgrounds and coursework. The mental model is used to reflect the user’s inner thinking mode. In this paper, we advocate for a user experience improvement by using the mental model and A/B testing. In the context of user experience, usability is one of the essential factors in mobile application development to determine the level of the application’s user experience. However, popular Japanese m-learning applications only accommodate on enhancing reading, vocabulary and writing ability so that user experience issues are still prevalent and may affect the learning outcome. No matter what kind of m-learning application, their goal should help learners to learn the Japanese language independently.
