Learn where the brake is. It's a very important pedal.

Everyone uses a stick here in the UK (well most of us anyway). If you can learn to drive in a manual then you'll a more versatile driver later.
All you need to remember....is learn where the 'biting point' is and you'll be fine on the gear changes. Manuals are soooooo much better. IMHO.
Practice does make perfect.

In Maryland, I got rear ended by a deaf Mennonite who was reading while he was driving.

Remember it's a speed limit, not a target!
