This is very true.

Example: I learned Russian mostly as an adult, including cursive Russian, and it is difficult to read cursive that is not neat in a foreign language, much less in one which you have more or less mastered to the point of comfort.

That's why I write slowly in Russian but itake pains to make sure t is extremely neat and legible. Russians as a group tend to write a mix of cursive and block print in signs and even in informal correspondence. Go figure. what a mess to try to understand.
