The paper is based on a study of a group of adult students in a distance learning environment. The focus of the study is on the student comprehension of particular learning strategies. The students' experiences are documented by using case study method and interviews, as well as a quantitative analysis of the results of a survey. The conclusions are that a direct teaching component for learning strategies in a distance learning course may improve the students' strategy awareness as well as contribute to the empowerment of adult students as autonomous learners by reducing their anxiety dealing with new learning situations, by fostering reflection and meta-cognition, and by providing a sense of achievement.
