Worked for Trip, could work for you. Don't think I would teach someone with those exact instructions however. If you do not have a suit be sure and buckle your vest very tight, a hard fall can easily bring a loose vest up your torso and trap your arms upright while your head is below the water.
Do some searches, learning to foot has been discussed many times, you may even find some video.

Well, what I always did is: longest line I had, as fast as the boat could go, wearing boardshorts and vest, start sitting on a wakeboard between the bindings and go to Vmax, then stand up.

Worked for me, but I'm sure there are better ways
