Can you drive a manual transmission?

And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

US, late 30s here, and I can drive a manual transmission. It's been a very long time since I last drove a car like this. I learned from a family friend that only verbally told me what to do. I stalled out many times in traffic while being on my own, not very fun when learning. But I then watched a lot of YouTube videos which was much more efficient than the family friend.
- i never truly learned, but not for lack of trying. I think i got similar training to you, albeit from my dad rather than a family friend. It just never clicked for me. And fortunately it will never need to!
  
  Of course it would've been preferable to have someone with me while learning. Nothing like trial by fire right? Lol
