used on smart phones and also desktops. It is designed to encourage the usage of
Dusun Language in daily life conversation. It is because Dusun language has become
an endangered language and will then reach to a point of extinction. This application
will act as another alternative in order to preserve the dying language. Android

with the design of android application. Usability testing has been conducted upon
completion of the prototype. Positive feedbacks gathered from the respondents. Thus
