Can I teach a 2-month intensive course with no experience?

Hello,
I have recently been asked if I will teach a 2 month intensive English course (5 hours a day) for a group of 15 unemployed adults in Spain. Although it would be a good experience I am undecided as I have no official TEFL experience or qualifications, the students would be of a mixed level and I´m not sure how to teach a mixed group and also because the main focus of the course is grammar and I have been told that I would have to teach the grammar in Spanish! If I´m honest I find just thinking about it very nervewracking!
I would appreciate any advice on whether you would recommend doing it considering my lack of experience
Thanks
