It's really easy Ang, after long enough you don't even think about doing it at all, it becomes reflexes like riding a pushbike.
Gearboxes are a H pattern and the only gear you need to know where you're starting from is the first one to make sure it's in gear, commit where they are to memory.
Don't look down at the thing!
Eyes on road!
Try not to think of it as a big lump of stupid agricultural equipment you've got force the hell out of with a lot of force. They're actually fairly clever things that use syncromesh to work out where they're supposed to go, so use the pointer, index finger and thumb rather than grabbing it with your whole hand and just use those to move the lever gently.
Next the clutch and accelerator, easiest way I can think of there for a learner is to imagine a see-saw, if one is completely in, the other should be completely out.
Clutch all the way in
Select 1st Gear
Accelerator at idle
Then once you're ready to move, imagine the see-saw swinging from one side to the other very slowly over 2-3 seconds and you will be moving as the clutch goes up to and the accelerator is going down. Once the clutch is out completely, the accelerator you can rev a little more freely to 2-3000rpm (the tachometer is your friend more than the speedometer)
Foot off accelerator
Clutch in
Select second and repeat that through the gearbox.
Slowing down.
Use gears to slow yourself down more than the brakes, provided the engine isn't reving hard plan ahead through traffic and corners, so when you want to slow down, ease off the accelerator completely, clutch in, downshift, touch of brakes and let the engine rev up, when it settles down, clutch in and downshift again to about 2nd and heavier braking, then clutch in and engage neutral once you've stopped.
Same with corners, you'll usually have to downshift to 2nd on anything which is a right angle, do this before you get there, not halfway through or anything!
Sweeping bends, go back to third as you're going into the corner to slow down, touch of brakes to a safe speed, halfway through the apex, power on and then once you're going straight, power off, shift up and power on.
Other things
Don't have your hand resting on the stick while you drive, it's not good for the gearbox and mulches things down there, 2 hands on the wheel.
Don't have your foot resting on the clutch when you drive, rest it on the floor or the little pedal thing next to the clutch, otherwise you wear on the clutch.
