Actually having no experience/reflexes with other type of transmission can make learning faster. For me it's other way around, most of experience is MT only. And when finally after several years had to drive once AT, hardest thing was not to learn how to operate, but to not apply MT reflexes subconsciously. To not seek for clutch, to not hit brake pedal with left foot too hard due clutch use habbits, to not engine-brake, to not be thrown off due unexpected downshift due speed of accel press. Most probably with zero experience it might be easier.
