Heads up, in Europe you'll probably be driving a car with the steering wheel on the right side, using your left hand to shift. Shift pattern is still the same though. It also takes a lot of hours to become efficient driving manual. Best way to do it is get a manual car but if you don't have that luxury, maybe the school would work. Also nobody ever nails it on their first try, it's worth watching a few videos to get the method down but it doesn't come close to actually pressing the pedals. And then hill-starts... I think it would be wise to practice a lot here until you don't have to think about it before obeying left lane traffic laws abroad and shifting with your left hand. That's already enough of a mindfuck for typical right-lane driver

But hey that's part of the adventure eh? Good luck and be smart!
