MAX7418EUA+ Newbie question

I have the above chip and intend to build a low pass filter. However, the chip housing/package is very small so that I (with my limited skills) can not solder this chip on a board. Can somebody tell me please what options I have? Is there a socket or similar available for such packages?
Thanks!

look at the youtube tutorials.
this chip is still quite easy to hand solder.

fix it diagonally two pads
solder all pads with LOT of solder so all pads on side are shortet
remove superfluos solder with solder wick

in case you want to breadbord buy a adapter pcb to dip and you are reydy to go

Thanks!! Looked at the tutorials. Will give it a try. The adapter to DIP is also a great suggestion. Found them at Digikey. Thanks again!
