Just practice the getting going part over and over again.  Get used to the feel of the clutch grab point.  Just get going and then stop (clutch in and brake) and then start over again.

If you feel it beginning to stall, clutch in quickly.  Remember it is always slowly out and quickly in  with the clutch pedal.

A lot of practice in these area first and most of your stalls will disappear.

Next practice smooth gear changes...

Within a week it should become second nature.

Good luck! :)

this is exactly what I did with my wife. Just sit there and push the clutch in and out while you stay put in 1st. Get a feeling for the 'grab point'...once you get the feeling down pat, start giving gas and taking off but stopping right away as soon as your clutch is all the way out....keep doing that...move up 3-4 feet, stop, do it again. You';ll get the hang of it. ;)
