Yup, practice. The rise on mine is high too, that is, compared to the Honda and Acura MTs that I've driven (oh, and an RX-7). You'll get used to it soon enough.

i actually think the higher friction points makes the car easier to drive. I learned how to drive stick on hondas and when i started to drive nissans and newer mazdas, they were alot easier. Plus...if the friction point is higher you don't have to depress the clutch all the way down to the floor.

when i'm at a stop and going into 1st, i depress the clutch all the way to put it into gear. When i shift into 2nd i push the clutch pedal almost all the way down just so it can be smooth. When i shift from 2nd to 3rd...i depress the clutch enough(pass the friction point) and then i shift. Just find whatever works for you. There are soooo many ways to drive stick. Find a way that works best for you and stick with it.
BTW...starting off on hills is the same as from a flat road. The car just rolls back so you have to do your "foot work" a little faster. If the hill is too steep...try using the e-brake.
