I learned manual from practicing in empty parking lots. What helped the most was practicing on an incline, trying to balance the clutch and gas to make the car immobile. Of course, that does burn out the clutch faster but it was an invaluable method of learning. On the same incline, I would imagine a four way stop situation, get the car completely stopped, and then trying to make the turn without the car moving backwards.
I don't even bother looking at rpm, but I do have a CAI which makes the engine louder than stock. After driving for a while, you'll get a feel as to when to shift and what not.
