This was my first manual as well, and the exercise that helped me the most was driving around a parking lot without the gas pedal.

Slowly let off the clutch until the idle power gets the car moving. I did this for about an hour the first day I got it. After that, you have the clutch control in muscle memory, and all you have to do is add the gas.

Getting going from a stop, I let off the clutch until it's just about to hit that bite point and then I jump off the brake onto the gas. Stops from rolling backwards on hills too.
