I'd maybe look into having the clutch replaced with an OEM clutch. Pretty pointless to have that clutch in there and probably not the most pleasant thing to learn on. I basically leaded to drive stick in my S2000 as it was the first manual car I ever owned. Had a friend teach me on a Saturday morning in his Civic SI and then the next weekend I was out test driving cars. The OEM S2000 clutch provides a lot of feedback but I know some of these aftermarket clutches are pretty unforgiving.

I learned how to drive a stick while test driving a 1995 Mustang GT. I remember the look on the salesman's face as the test drive began when I stated that I had only driven a stick in video games. It went amazingly well and I have had a manual of some sort for the last 23 years and counting.
As others have stated, it just takes practice in a parking lot to get a feel for it. Save the stops on inclines for later.
