I learned how to drive my first manual car with my FRS. But it was a bit easier since I knew how to ride a motorcycle.
I had one of my friend thought me since he was riding along. I knew the basic stuff, but wasn't good at hills. What we did was we went and found a commercial area that had a hilly area (It was empty) and practiced clutch control and gas control on it. We started at a slightly steep hill and went to more steep hill.
Burning clutch is gonna be normal since we're still learning. I had a parking lot area hill where it was really steep to get up and its always busy, so imagine how that was, I could smell the burnt clutch for a few mins even tho it was for a few seconds lol.
But take your time, don't rush it, and don't think about stalling. Keep watching different videos on YT and read about it to learn more about the car and manual. I'm still iffy on the gear changes, but I'm getting a lot more used to it, so I'm like you, my main issue right now is steep hill area, but I got the idea on how to do it, but still not smooth and my gear change is not smooth all the time. For those hill, you can use the e-brake method too.
