Like the OP, this is a my first manual car. I have had experience driving frd's manual corolla, fits and what not but never as a day to day car.
In been a bit more than a month and i have 2100km on the car. It does get better and easier the more you drive, and i've notice its much easier to drive this car smoothly in higher rev than in lower rev.
I do feel that i'm still slipping the clutch too much when i start. I find that its the easiest to start smoothly if i'm gently revving it and than slowly letting out the clutch instead of the proper way that was posted above: release clutch to engagement point let off brake than add gas.
I will work on that though. I barely stall now, the only time when I still come close to stalling now is while in the parking lot cruising really slow in 1st gear or while parking backwards. I can't shake the feeling that if i do not give a little gas before i start releasing the clutch it will stall
