The text in this postcard is German, which is my native language. Except for some very simple words like “wir” or “mit”, I cannot read this.

That’s the older brother of Sütterlin. So, no.

What was interesting about my son with down syndrome: as he learned to read he became a master at reading cursive…somehow.
We’d hand him Christmas cards that we struggled to read from old European relatives(that wrote in older script) and somehow he’d read it off no problem.
My guess is words always needed decoding for him and context played a role in guessing the word, so it became a skill somehow
