I actually learned Dutch as an adult, I'm around a B1/B2 level. I did actually notice my dyslexia at least felt like less of an issue in Dutch. Since I learned mostly through reading, I learned new words in their written form, and then had to learn rules for how to translate them into their spoken form. Pretty much the exact opposite of how you learn your native language. It also may feel like less of an issue because I don't use it nearly as often as English, and because it is a second language, so I'm not nearly as hard on myself for any mistakes I make.
