It does take some time getting used to. This car was my first manual car as well, and I've gotten really good at it over the last 5 months (well 5 months minus 1 day lol).
What I suggest is finding an empty parking lot, or just your street that's not too busy and try accelerating quickly and experiment with different RPM's from a stand still.
My guess is you're currently fully engaging the clutch at around 1500 RPM's and it takes the car until about 3000 RPM's before it really starts to get going. I suggest maybe starting the car at about 2000 RPM's instead so you have a less of a gap to 3000 when it actually starts to get into the power.
Monitor those RPMs as you're starting to move and try not to let them fall below 2000. I wouldn't suggesting revving up to 4000 and dropping the clutch to get a launch every time lol, even though that is fun too.
As far as the reverse gear is, you are right. It's the only gear I've stalled in recently (about a month ago was my last stall). The only thing you can do though is to modulate the gas at the same time so you don't stall, and reverse slowly. It's not particularly a good thing, but usually reversing is a slow manoeuvre and generally there's nothing you can do but ride the clutch a little bit. Don't let go of the clutch fully in reverse, I've never done this and I only partially engage with a little bit of gas whenever it's about to stall. The other thing you can do is just push in the clutch a little more whenever it's getting close to stalling.
