For your first time I suggest the slowest clutch foot imaginable, letting the clutch out 1mm per second. All too often when I was teaching someone how to drive a stick, almost everything goes out the window when they get all apeshit from stalling with traffic behind them. So like I said, left foot sloooooow.

The main thing is getting a feel for the clutch pedal, when it grabs and releases. Until you get that 'feel' for that particular pedal, sloooooow. And as I'm sure you know each car's clutch pedal is different. So everytime you practice in a new car, slooooooow.

Sorry, just had to say it one more time, slooooooow.
