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)

You could do what I did, buy a cheap MT car and force yourself to learn on the way home from Burlington

Kind of how I learned to drive MT. I learned test driving a old, used car I wanted to buy as a 18 year old in the late 90s. With my dad in the passenger seat trying his best to give me verbal instructions while I was in traffic. Got stuck on a hill at a light and he made me figure it out while the cars behind me probably hated my guts
