In order to know what is the autodidact learners (Surf Guide) activities from at the beginning of a day since morning when they wake up until sleep again at Selong belanak, the researcher conducted observation on 28 of mei 2020. Based on the observation the researcher found that the autodidact learner (Surf Guide) who was living around Selong belanak actually they mostly communicated or interacted by  using locals language (SASAKNESS) even at beach (tourism area), but when they were at the beach sometimes they mixed or combined between locals language (SASAKNESS) and English when they communicated or interacted with their friends and unexpectedly they only spoke English when the western people or tourist came to Selong belamak beach such as for having  some meal and surfing stuff  or when they have customer. Otherwise, they spoke local langugae (SASAKNESS) whole days, a month and it could be a years when they did not have customer. Therefore, the demanded of the job or the place where they were live,  they should be good spoke English. Futhermore,  the autodidact learners (Surfer Guide) probably just spoke 30% English and spoke 70%  locals language (SASAKNESS) in whole day.

Meanwhile, autodidact learners (Surf Guide) are more confident in using English, even though sometimes they were wrong in pronounced words by words. Beside that when they did not know about vocabulary words sometimes they asked the customer (tourist) directly about it and sometimes they asked their friends.

In additions, environment such as tourism area had been influencer to them who was learning English by an autodidact and then the more impotantly was they have a big willing, and then they created the strong mentality on themselves.
