To expand on NoSnaab's recomendation to practice first in an empty parking lot and only use the clutch pedal to get the car going in 1st gear... I further recomend that you take your left shoe and sock off and put your bare foot on the clutch pedal. Often your shoe dampens out the "feel" of the clutch. Try it with bare feet and you will learn the feel of the clutch much faster. Once you get it down, put your shoe back on and practice that way too.
I have taught a few people to drive stick this way and it really speeds up the learning process.
I think it is illeagle to drive bare footed in most states, so this is my disclaimer that you likely should not be driving barefooted on the public roads.
