I think the bet thing to do when learning is just to accep that you are not going to be easy on the wear and tear of the clutch until you get the hang of it. After that basicaly give it a little gas and let clutch out slowly as you are giving it gas.
I would also recomend what some others have said. Let clutch out super slowly, im talking like 5 seconds to let the clutch pedal out like an inch. If you let it out this slowly you will start to feel the clutch "grab" and start to move, doing that a few times hopefully will help you get the feel of it.
good luck
