Is learning to drive manual hard?

I've seen a few videos of it. It doesnt look too bad. I want to learn but I'm not sure how long it will take.

Side note, you must be Aussie. I don't hear manual being said much on here, it's always "stick", so gday to a fellow Aussie

@Sambriggs96 Always nice to meet another Aussie on the site! Mind if I stick my nose in and ask your personal motivation for driving a manual?

@Bushmanoz My friend has a manual car and I want to learn to drive it

@Sambriggs96 good for you. I think the biggest problem starting out is people tend to just drop the clutch, ride it, once you have momentum don't feel you have to let it out all at once, like others have said, once you learn you'll never forget..although jumping back into an Auto has you looking for the clutch sometimes
