he has said only wear 1 to start with (either right or left) until i get used to clipping and unclipping it leaves me a free foot just incase i forget, is this a good method? or is he yanking my chain?

thanks
That seems like a weird way to learn. I put my bike close to a wall and practiced clipping and unclipping with one hand on the wall while I was watching TV. I've also heard of people just riding in circles on grass. It's not that hard to learn and is more intuitive than you think, though it's likely you'll have one 0 mph crash.
