What part don't you understand? I think it's pretty clear, you are in a gear, you put the clutch in (FIRST TIME), change gears into Neutral, and let the clutch out. Now put the clutch in again (SECOND TIME - DENOTES <b>DOUBLE</b> CLUTCHING) shift the car into gear, and let the clutch out. You used the clutch twice to shift into one gear. It's kinda difficult to follow (there are two steps), but it's English I assure you :-)
Bottom line, double clutching is not something you need to do in your car.
If you are slipping your clutch into 2nd or higher gears, you are not shifting the best way possible. It may feel faster, but you're eating up your clutch and you're not putting power to the ground. It will help you on a launch to keep from bogging the motor or slipping the tires too much, but only in first gear and maybe second if you're making real power. Someone with a turbo car may do so to keep the revs up (and *maybe* boost - but generally the car has to be under load to make boost), but I didn't do that in my SE-R when it was turboed, as shifting above 6500rpm always landed me back on full boost in the next gear.
