Head to a empty parking lot. Stop the car and put it in first then slowly let the clutch out without giving it any gas. You will be able to feel when the clutch just begins to catch then give it a little gas and let the clutch out the rest of the way. Keep doing this until you are able to do it in one fluid motion. Others may have learned differently but this is how I taught myself and it worked. Congrats on the s2k, you'll be driving stick like a champ soon enough
