Just saw this excellent animated guide to learning how to drive stick: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
The next time you get asked to teach someone how to drive stick, show them this first. It'll maybe help them visualize what it is they're trying to do.

Honestly, the best way to learn to drive stick is to take the car to an empty parking lot, and practice driving around using only the clutch pedal. It's basically the same concept as creeping your way into/out of a parking space, where you just pull the clutch out not quite to the engage point so the car can roll forward very slowly.
You can start nearly any MT car in 1st without actually using the gas pedal if you are good enough with the clutch.

Yup, they mention both of those points in the article, too.
