So I think the kids will figure out how to use it well and learn from it as long as we can get into their hands.
The language issue is not a huge problem in my view. Because at the very least the kids will learn english using this thing.
Also you could preload links to youtube videos showing lectures in the kids's mother tongue.
I wish this thing had a 3g connectivity as that is available in a lot of rural places in India. Wifi is going to be tough in a village.
My dad's village has water for 3 hours a day and electricity for about 20 hours a day but I've never seen the internet connectivity ever fail me.
