Manuals are easy.
the trickiest bit at the beginning is pulling away in first and more importantly trickling along in 1st or reversing. Learning how to control the speed of the car with the clutch.
why don't you go get a few lessons.
When learning to trickling on the clutch just remember that the clutch controls your speed not the revs. Get it right and you can have your engine howling away but be inching along. Of course not recommended for long periods or you'll burn your clutch.
The only thing is if you are used to an automatic don't forget to put your clutch in when you stop...
