A semi structure interview through Zoom application is employed to collect the data of this research. All of data are analysed by using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis theory with several steps comprised of reading, coding, theming and interpreting. The result of this research reveals that emotions like happiness, satisfaction, inclination, and security may influence his willingness, feeling, motivation, and learning strategy. Meanwhile, emotions of unhappiness, insecurity and dissatisfaction are signified as the source of the obstacles in learning vocabulary through these accounts.
