A good way to learn the friction point of a clutch is to find some flat ground (somewhere you can practice and not worry about traffic or pedestrians) and come to a complete stop.
Put the car into first gear and without touching the accelerator or brake, very, very slowly bring the clutch pedal up. You'll feel the engine begin to bog down the further the pedal comes off the floor. Push the clutch back down and repeat until you feel comfortable with where the clutch is "catching".
Once you can reliably find this spot in the clutch pedal's travel, begin adding in some throttle to help you take off a little quicker.
I've taught others to drive manual and this is a good way to build the muscle memory that helps when driving on the road so you don't have to think about it.
Maybe that helps but either way good luck on your journey!
