That sounds like your gear syncronizers, not the clutch.
You should have that looked at rather soon, once the syncro's go bad, the teeth on the gears go next!
However, if "pumping" the clutch allows it to work, you might have air in your clutch line. Your clutch is hydraulic, try bleeding it and see if that helps. If it does not...then you know the problem is Syncro/gear related, not clutch related.
