Driving a manual is literally the easiest fucking thing in the world and it takes like 1 video and 30 minutes to figure out. Billions of literal npcs who do not even know the bare basics of how an engine works drove manuals before you and hundreds of millions still do today and since you're on here I'd imagine your knowledge of cars is at the very least better than that of some 60 year old European woman.
Here are some basic retard tier instructions
>push clutch in and slowly lift it a few times to feel out the car's biting point (you'll start to feel the clutch pedal sort of stiffen as you release it)
>push clutch in and go through all the gears 10 or so times to get used to the pattern and make sure you don't accidentally shift from first to fourth
>push clutch in put it in neutral start car put it in first or reverse, slowly release clutch up to the biting point while simultaneously giving it throttle and the car will start rolling (this is a lot easier on diesels)
>to change gears while driving simply push the clutch in, upshift, lift clutch back up to its biting point, start giving it gas and let off the clutch again, most driving instructors over here in yurop teach drivers to upshift at around 2000rpms and to always drive in a high gear but I'm pretty sure that should really only be done when the engine is still warming up or when you're trying particularly hard to save some fuel as it's bad for the engine to run it like that all the time. Just use your ears pretty much.
>when coming to a stop, press down on the brake pedal first then push the clutch in and press down on the brake pedal further.
>for uphill starts, push clutch in, push brakes in, slowly release clutch up to it's biting point then quickly give it throttle as to not roll down or stall it. If this particularly worries you then it's easier to do a handbrake hill start, practically the same shit but you use the handbrake instead
