Press the clutch pedal to the floor.

Do that a couple of times. It'll get you somewhat familiar with where you clutch likes to grab at before you try to feather the clutch while giving it gas at the same time. Once you get it down, you can hop into pretty much any manual transmission car and drive it.
This. The manual cars from us are extremely easy to get used to now days. You'll be zipping around in no time, play with the engagement point in a lot, and once you have worked at it it will be come second nature.
