Is it harder for native english speaking to understand broken english?

I've come across a lot of people and forums where someone talks or asks a question and if they don't use punctation and or proper grammar then some people just won't understand.

My mother tongue is not english, and in school we spend a lot of time on learning english and the grammar. Could that be why I have it easier to understand even if some words are in a incorrect order and if the wrong grammar has been used. Personally I can just read most of them just fine and I don't think about.

We spend a lot of time on not only english but also our own language until we can almost disect sentences to adjectives, verbs, noun and so on in our sleep. (Maybe it was just my class? Who knows)

Maybe it is easier if you read it out loud?

Out of any interest, I am Swedish.
