When you first begin, look for the "sweet spot" of engagement. No need to use the gas even. Have the car at a stop, put into first and make it go by slowly releasing the clutch. Once proficient, start release clutch gradually faster while incorporating gas.

Exactly how i learned, but 90% of cars here in the UK are manual. Over here if you learn in an Automatic your licence only covers you to drive an Auto, you can't then drive a manual with out taking and passing a driving test in a manual. If you pass your test in a manual then you can drive either a manual or an auto. Sorry i'm going off topic.

Jake: Remember to tell her to depress the clutch down when you come to a stop!

That's what did it for me. Once I took this approach I only stalled a few times when distracted. Hrmm the Dave and busters/arcade sounds like a good idea!
