I agree with everything except the last part... Staying still on a hill without using the brakes is a good way of burning up the clutch. I NEVER ride the clutch.

Although, the rest, OK! Definitely learning to drive on hills is the BEST way to learn. I learned by landing in stop-n-go traffic on the 101 during rush hour. I stalled twice in 40 minutes and after that I was near pro! LOL I think in the first week of driving stick, I stalled about 10-15 times. The first day was the worst, but after about 20 minutes of stop and go, I had it down.
