And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    Yes, 24, army taught me on deployment. It was fun! I’m tempted to get a manual on my next car, but I’d like my wife to be able to use it :P

      Teach her! It will be fun and won’t start any fights. I promise.

      In all seriousness, if you do teach her just encourage her to go off of feeling, that’s what helped me. If you feel it ‘lugging’ put your foot on the clutch and shift down.

      My dad’s instructions for clutch and gas at the same time did not help and contributed to me having to replace the clutch after a year of ownership.
