Hi there! Interesting situation you're in. I do support what Eric just said about taking it slowly. For anyone just learning a new language, it really isn't that easy. The great challenge for you is to have fun in class and try your best to make it easy for the students to learn what you are teaching. Games are highly recommended, and I would incorporate them into every little thing that you teach. You should exaggerate your body language, and facial expressions, and this will help with the students learning what you're teaching and also keep them interested and smiling. The first few times you get at it can be quite challenging, but don't worry, if you prepare well enough for your class, everything will go relatively smoothly! Good luck!
