I'd end up stalling at every light, or miss a gear. I have enough to worry about while driving without worrying about what gear i need to be in.
I tried teaching someone how to drive a manual a while back, she just couldn't get it at all. Then her car died and she needed something to get around in. I lent her my S10 with a manual tranny (She wasn't getting the 6spd Corvette...). After driving for a day, she was getting good at it.

Dive in and do it and you'll learn fast.
