Back when I first learned to drive stick the only really tough part to learn was starting off from a stopped position on a severe incline. For a newbie I think this is the toughest situation you can face in a manual. So get a rental car and learn to drive the stick on flat to downgrade sideroads. Then when you feel pretty good practice starting from a stopped position on a severe uphill slope. When you can do it without stalling and burning clutch go pick up your Z.
