Find a spot somewhere where you can practice. You'll find it easy after several tries.

This is great advise.
I have four kids and gave each one a car for their sixteenth birthday. All were manual transmissions. It takes some time to get comfortable with the clutch but it will come quickly. Just hang in there.
