Yes teh clutch is the hard part. Every clutch in every car is different here are a few pointers that i've learned.

Learn at night. You will have to drive around town without looking down to see what gear your in. So best to learn at night when you cant see it anyway.

Listen to your engine. That will tell you when to shift. Yes you can go off of the rpms, but just listening is better.

First gear is a beyatch. way i got down at first was on a hill i held the ebrake while letting off the brake. so i wouldnt roll back. then slowing released it as i got some gas. then i figured out how to release the clutch a little bit till i can feel the engine trying to move the car. then you can let off the brake and give it some gas.
