Привычка - вторая натура.
means it is difficult to make someone change the way they do something when they have been doing it the same way for a long time.
You're never going to teach your father at the age of 79 to use a computer. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, you know.

Well, danke schon. :-)
Actually I was speaking German prety well at school, but now I forgot it completely, I think. But you know what, I remember, when I was visiting Berlin in 1994 for one week (it was kind of business trip), the language started to come back.

Wellcome to community!
