My friend taught me in 30 seconds. I knew when to clutch, where to shift from video games before the first time I drove, so that helped a bit.
He held the brake, let the clutch out until revs dropped, said thats your friction point and I have loved driving stick since.

Earliest I remember was when I was 13/14. I sat in my Sister's then Boyfriends del Sol when we went to ImportFest, and got the concept by watching and listening.
At 16, I went around to Dealerships with my mom to go "buy a car" and finally test drove a Celica GTS that was Manual. I stalled SOOOOO much since nobody really explained the friction point thing to me. Did it again at 17 in a new Civic. Stalled once when I parked lol. In the same year, I drove my sister's then Ex (same guy)'s 350Z. Stalled once. That was a hard car to learn from, but by then I knew what to do. None of my friends had a car at this point, and I had an 06 Civic in Auto since I wasn't allowed to drive Manual, and my mom offered to pitch in if I got the Auto.
4 months later I bought my first 240 and drove home from Surrey in snow. From that point I learned how to Heel-toe/rev-match from friends. I also learned how to drift in that car with no prior experience other than watching the Drift Bible. Needless to say, I fell in love with RWD, and all of my future cars will be RWD.
I like Driving Manual, and my next car probably will be Manual, but I still like Automatic depending on the car.

when i bought my first car, my beloved 2002 Civic..
my mom ask me why i want a cars thats standard when i dont know how to drive it.. i told her im going to learn it.. she told me i was n idiot to try and learn it on a new car.. haha
after the first day i got it.. when i got used to it on relatively flat roads, i knew i needed to work rollbacks, so i took my car to BOUNDARY Road... started at the bottom of the BIG ASS HILL and worked my way up.. i would stop and drive up a bit then stop again and drive up again.. this way i would learn how to drive up a hill and not freak out.. of course i did this during night, at around 11pm.. that way i wouldnt make a fool of myself in front of people.. haha..
after that session, MAN was i ever good...

Went to a parking lot, then found some steepish hills, and mastered that. Was driving without stalling within a few hours of practice

My friend taught me on our lunch break in his Mazda B2000. We toured around COQ and POMO and he took me up Thermal.
Then I bought a car and fine tuned on that.
