Im picking up my new car tomorrow (2011 impreza hatchback)/claim and its a stick. I have never touched a stick shift in my life before. Im having my friend drive it home for me and im going to learn from there (much less pressure then driving it off the lot into traffic) So give me some quick tips. Also I know everybody is different but how long did it take you to learn stick.

my mom first tried teaching me at like 13 never really got it down. when it came down to the night before school one day and i just found out i had to drive a 1988 3.25 BMW, finally got the hang of it. the pressure helped a lot haha

stopping and going constantly will help a lot
