I remember in my first lesson, my instructor took me to a carpark and let me practice getting a feel for the clutch, which eventually led to doing figure of 8's at different speeds. After an hour and a bit of getting used to the car, I was allowed to drive home.
The best thing to remember when learning, is to be confident.. It's hard to crash or do anything bad, as the instrcutor has a set of pedals too, so take things at an easy pace, and it will all fit into place
Good luck!
