First off, start by talking to someone who knows how to drive a manual transmission. Once you think you know what to do, maybe have them drive you to a big empty parking lot and then you can try it. Take it slow and get the hang of it before you try to drive on the road, good luck.

Start learning how to drive manual in an empty parking lot because you're going to stall the engine at least 10 times I started learning to drive manual when I was 12 with tractors and farm equipment, I would stall the tractor at leas every third shift for the first year, but I eventually got good at it don't worry it should only take you a few hours, a car has a synchronised transmission, a 1971 Massey Furguson 175 doesn't, well it did, but the synchro's haven't worked right in the last 10 years, 3rd gear doesn't even work so that required learning to double clutch (It was a tractor my dad could afford to have destroyed, the good John Deere is worth 90K). In any car you don't need to doube clutch (unless the transmission is on it's last legs, at which point you should consider a new car) but if you can you should, because it's a good habit and it makes your clutch last longer.(it will eventually wear out and need to be replaced)

Read your road rules, have your parent guide you or other adult that you trust. Have them drive you to an empty shopping centre car park on a Sunday and go from there. Remember that driving a manual isnt easy then again neither was anything that you had to learn from walking, feeding yourself, reading or writing this is just another set of skills to learn.. good luck!

Manuel is easy. k first make sure the manuel brake isnt on. then your going to slide the stick shift to the left up to first. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR FOOT IN THE CLAUGE THOUGH! as soon as its in 1st you can let go of the clauge SLOWLY. once you hear the engine forcing its self AGIAN put your foot on the clauge move the stick down. from there change it to 3rd with your foot in the clauge and then let go from there the car should be good. noe to stope DON'T JUST PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE CLAUGE 1st then move the stick to nuetral witch is in the middle. the stick goes in a H formation

Ummm... no longer something cool approximately making use of tips yet for one eyes on the line first and formost. do no longer run over a trash can on the sidewalk that throughout the time of ordinary terms gets the keys taken away. and don't make law enforcement officers mad.. and in the event that they do pull you over do no longer poke them they do unlike that
