I learned by volunteering to be the designated driver of someone else's car and not mentioning that I didn't know how to drive a stick.
By the time the car's owner realized, they were too drunk to complain.
I got to practice on the hills of San Francisco. I stalled and spun out a lot.
Then I bought a stick shift of my own.
