Learning strategies are, in general, cognitive enterprises that help learners of a non-mother language (NML) to acquire this linguistic system. The present study, inspired by Pawlak (2018), assesses the degree of use of grammar learning strategies in 30 Mozambican university students, in the year 2021, based on an inquiry grouping grammar acquisition instances/strategies. In the end, the study argues that the majority surveyed population applies grammar learning strategies, proposing methodological options for the minority of learners of Portuguese as a NML who are unaware of their applicability.
