I purposely stopped on a hill today to try it out. Yea, that wasn't fun. Just be patient and don't get discouraged! Everyone who started learning a standard was in the same position.

For those that haven't got the "hill start" down yet. Here's an old trick.
Put your e-brake on so it will hold the car. Start letting the clutch out, you'll physically feel the car pull agaisnt the brake, then drop the e-brake and continue throttle.
Another trick to starting from a stop. Slightly blip the throttle as your easing off the clutch, when you feel the car move, continue driving as normal.
Two of the tricks my friend taught me to driving a manual when I bought my first one.
