Question How do you feel when you take on a new class?

I'm curious as to how others feel when they accept a new class. Personally, I get rather panicked. I think this is in part because of the preference of British English over American English in Sevilla and I speak American English. I also tend to be more of a shy person at times and thus am rather nervous at beginning a new class and having to get accustomed to new students. The new class that spurred on this question is a student looking to improve her fluency. While some may take this to be an easier class with less corrections and such, I'm always trying to find the balance between American and British pronunciations, grammar, terminology and idioms; and while they are not *that* different, they really are *that* different.
