...if you're renting something to learn on, try a cheaper economy car, as the basic skills are the same but the first week or so of learning can be pretty hard on its clutch...absolutely you'll be able to get the hang of it, though, no worries...
...once you get your esprit, take it easy and maintain a relaxed driving style until you're completely comfortable operating the manual transmission as a daily driver...high performance driving is challenging enough without throwing unfamiliar control operations into the mix, and lotus are more than enough car that you'll have no need to prove anything on the streets...
