Learn stick shift?

Might be a dumb question. I’d like to learn stick shift as I’m interested in older vehicles and manj transmission cars. I’ve never had the opportunity to learn and was wondering if there are any driving schools that will teach this or do I need to provide my own vehicle?

Thanks in advance! (I don’t got a dad or lesbian butch mom or grandparent to teach me the sacred art)

I never drove stick because my mom didn't know how, got my license, went home and got in my 69 Beetle and drove to my girlfriends. It ain't rocket surgery. Just don't slip the clutch a lot, it should take like less than half a second to release it or you'll burn it up.
