I bought the ST having not drove it nor a manual at all. I had my dad drive it home from the dealership for me and then I taught myself to drive it. It's not hard at all. With the car off you can push the clutch in and out and feel when it grabs. Do that for a bit, then to an empty parking lot and you'll be fine.
One mistake I kept making for a few days was coming to a stop sign in a neighborhood and forgetting I was in 3rd and trying to go again. Something about the low speeds, my brain just wasn't thinking "Hey, you're in 3rd, not 1st..." Stalled a few times, but I don't make that mistake anymore.
It's easy, you'll get the hang of it.
