@@SamAndMonica Bro I am Indian just started watching your videos ... I love your videos...one earnest request ....can you do a video... Where you keep on correcting her English... As British English is different from American English... Long back when I was in school My English teacher told us that British English has many differences when it comes to American English... Many statements and word positions ,voice change,and narrations which are used in American English is considered grammatically incorrect in British English... Isn't it true... Please please please make a video on that correcting her.. It would be both informative and funny as well... Sorry English is not my first language...

I love the patience and love Sam showed when teaching!! It makes SUCH a difference to learning. I learned how to drive stick while also learning how to drive a car for the first time and it was...an experience 😂 Monica did such a great job for her first time!!

[@lozzyloo258]

Everybody in the UK learns that way. We all learn manual first, automatic doesn't have to be learnt really as its just go and stop x

[@savednorwegian]

Yes, I agree, calm and patient is key. But dont focus on pushing the clutch in first rather than the breaks, better to stall the car than to crash

[@BC_W]

As someone from the manual car community we would like to say you did very well for your first time. Not stalling immediatly was quite impressive.

[@MackBell723]

After seeing what the roads are like in England, compared to USA and Aus, the roads are narrow and tight, so props to you, Monica, driving a manual/drive stick car, driving on the opposite side, and having a patient teacher in you, Sam, I am not suprised that you nailed the driving. I would have freaked out I am sure, driving a manual/drive stick is too hard for me lol.

[@tusharbapat1672]

I am from India where we follow British rules for driving. I was in US for 6 years and hence have good driving experience. In 6 years i got pulled over for only once for not stopping at yellow (but was driving to hospital). I can understand the feeling for driving for first time in opposite directions and you really did very well. i will give some credit to your guide. You both rock.

[@chrisfrandsen1772]

I know I'm super late to this video, just found you guys and trying to watch all videos up to the present. Anyway I absolutely love how you two support each other and this video is a great example. Monica did a great job learning in such 'strange' circumstances and Sam was a wonderful, clear, patient instructor. You two can accomplish anything together!

[@nikkis7375]

I have never seen someone explain how to do this so well! Good job at explaining Sam!! Great job Monica!

[@AayushBhargav-yb3ys]

First off, she drove actually very well. I’m from India and here, manual/stick shift cars are very common and also the right side steering wheel and left side driving…literally the same thing as the UK. You guys are the cutest couples! I wish you guys the best of luck!❤

[@sarah-covers-songs]

Considering this was your first time driving a manual, you did extremely well. Manual is pretty challenging considering you have gear changes and an extra pedal, which can be very confusing and takes a while to get use to, depending on the person and how often you practice, and for your first time with manual, well done to you, you nailed it 👍

[@pooleandrew]

I learned on my grandfather's truck, when I was 16. 1975 Ford F-150 with manual steering and a 3 on the tree. Been driving a standard ever since. Way to go Monica! Did waaaay better than me my first time!

You seriously did amazing girl! I’m American and tried to learn how to drive a manual and it was overwhelming to say the least. I can’t imagine adding driving on the other side of the road and being on the passenger side as well!

For a first try with a manual gearbox you handled it pretty well Monica ! Good job 👏

[@colekitten1367]

Wow you master driving a manual really easy great job Monica coming from someone that has driven a manual before I am 23 years old and I love driving manuals Sam you’re an awesome teacherI love how you were very patient with her

[@glenmartin7978]

you don't have to find the bite every time you change gear. You just press the Accelerator as you let your foot off the Clutch, if you find the bite you are more likely to create an accident with someone behind you going into your rear end. Only find the bite if you are at a complete stop or if you have stopped on a hill at a junction or at lights together with hand brake to prevent rolling backwards.

[@beverlynewsome7451]

Monica, you did awesome. Sam you are such a patient teacher.

[@alessandraaleale3992]

I am Italian, so I drive the same way as American people do, but we mostly drive manual. I am used to it now, but I did way worse than Monica on my first time! So, she's completely smashing it! Good job!

[@cinderellafairygodmother7792]

I have drove a manual truck before, but while learning i stalled so much the clutch now has a permanent dip in it(still there 15+ years later). You did amazing Monica

[@glenmartin7978]

clutch is only pressed if you are changing gears or if you are in a high gear and slowing down, when doing a three point turn you don't press the clutch as you will already be in first gear Only find bite by using clutch if you have come to a complete stop

[@williamconnelly5143]

[@tewariyash]

I am from India and we drive on the left side of the road. So when I started to learn to drive I always had a problem with manual that I had to look down at the gear to change the gear and so I almost hit something a couple of times because of this, but the way she was so naturally changing gears on her first time was awesome 😁. Now I good at driving as currently I drive an automatic car 😁

[@jodzh6890]

im a brit living in NZ and can drive both manual and auto But thankfully in Nz they drive on the same side coz that would freak me out x well done Monica you smashed it❤

[@joakimmoller]

If you push down the clutch before you brake in heavy vehicles downhill they'll accelerate really much. So it's good to learn how to brake without clutch until you have to switch gear.

[@dtimm612]

Loving her confidence, his face at 6:34 😆 I had the same look on my face when my wife said that lol, it's terrifying because they don't know what it's like to have to accelerate quick or accidentally kill the motor with cars behind you especially on a hill and it can go bad quick... definitely easier on instructor when it's not their own car!

[@melisamarian7440]

Omg she did so goood 😱 my very first experience with a car was a manual one (which is what i learnt how to drive on) and I stalled the hell out of it the first few times. Granted, she has some experience driving, because automatic driving experience still counts BUT STILL SHE DID GRREAAAAT! ❤️

[@Nunya_BizNess]

I bought a motorcycle before I'd ever driven a car and learned to ride before drive then I bought a stick shift car and then eventually automatic. Did it all backwards. I'm shocked that anyone is that good at driving manual for the first time. Well done!

[@Missmixy327]

Don't stress about stalling! :D I stalled SOOO many times when my dad taught me manual in high school XD. Been driving for 7 years now exclusively with my manual car and I never stall now EXCEPT I actually stalled the other day at a light because a cat distracted me XD You got this girly! Proud of you!!

She is a natural with manual, stick shift some people stall or kangaroo yes drive more and more get that confidence up with a manual car this is real driving.

Wow, that's amazin to see Monica did not stall even once which picking up in 1st gear. I remember my first time, I could not drive that smoothly at all....

[@Vodaph0ne]

Also when you park it's obviously best to put the handbrake on first before coming off of the clutch in order to prevent the car from lurching forwards or backwards

Sam using American descriptions like "regular road" and "stick shift" , instead of normal road" and manuel gears" etc. That shows real love

[@timmaes2421]

I loved driving with a stick shift car. I learned how to drive in one and owned one for 10 years to drive to work. But i used to have a lot of traffic jams. And constant slow driving and stopping with a manual is just hard and boring because of the clutch. That’s why I started driving a automatic in 2012. It has his benefits i have to say. Anyway great driving from Monica, first time stick shift, steering wheel on the right and driving on the left side!!! I say well done💪👍.

[@marcelbinder2150]

I learned driving in Austria. There it's also really common to see stick shift cars, because they're cheaper than automatic transmission ones. So I also learned how to drive with stick shift transmission, however what I would struggle with, is that I'd have to use my left (weaker) hand to shift gears. I would NOT enjoy that.

[@heshanshibry6575]

Cute husband. Teaching his wife. It was great and I too learnt something's on driving a manual gear.

That was a nice Dodge Journey and a double stress: i've never driven an automatic before, i didn't know the route, canadian rules and signs, i had 6 more people behind my back. And you are doing great, girl! I remember my lovely husband teaching me absolutely the same way to "feel it". And now i do it as if i was born already able! I do think you've made a big step forward by now))

[@scmtuk3662]

I'd love to see Monica driving in Swindon, specifically, The Magic Roundabout (which for those who don't know, is basically, 5 mini-roundabouts (all clockwise), which are themselves arranged roughly in a circle, connected by roads in both directions, which form two larger roundabouts. The outer roundabout is also a clockwise roundabout, and the inner circle is anti/counter-clockwise. This therefore means there multiple ways to use the roundabout. For example, if you're planning to take the 4th exit, normally, you'd simply go clockwise past the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd exits, then exit at the 4th exit. But with the Magic Roundabout, you can simply go round the mini-roundabout that you enter, then turn right, then go straight to the 4th exit, the "wrong way". Or you can just get completely lost and do something weird, like turn left when you enter the roundabout, make a complete U-turn around the next mini-roundabout, go back to the original mini-roundabout, but go straight past it, to the 4th miniroundabout, keep going anti-clockwise, past the next roundabout, then turn around at the next roundabout, and go back past the previous roundabouts, to finally exit. This sounds more confusing than it actually is.

It was my first time visiting the UK in 2001. I had no intention of driving because my friend was going to drive. Due to unforeseen unfortunate events (he got pickpocketed on the London Underground), his military ID, driver license, and passport were stolen. We stayed in my friend's flat in East London and they wanted to visit Stonehenge & Bath. The minivan (apparently, a minivan is actually "mini") was dropped off and lo and behold...it was an automatic! I think the most scariest part of it all was driving through London. As soon as we got to the countryside, it was fine until we had to drive back to East London.

I don’t know for others but I love manual drive, driver has full control of vehicles and it’s more fun to drive.. always remember.. it’s ‘CBA’ rule you need to remember always.. A: Acceleration B: Brakes C: Clutch It’s always in straight line ‘CBA’ from right to left, just in case if you ever get confused which one is which. I hope Monica love driving those stick shift than automatic.. go girl go… 🚘🚗zoom..🤣

[@savednorwegian]

btw *never focus on pushing the clutch in first if needing to slow down or break cause if in emergency you could lose a vital split second to break and save yourself alot of hassle or injury* . I did this and escaped an accident barely but I stalled the car...well what you prefer? I rest my case

I actually learnt in a manual and started in my grandmas old toyota carolla in the drive way.
