Good content overall but beware 2nd languages

My daughter is doing Grade 1 CAPS syllabus via Think Digital Acadamey - https://www.thinkdigitalacademy.org

Whilst overall the content and lessons are great(really Maths/english/life skills/etc are good) they do seem to have put little to no effort with regards to 2nd Language (Afrikaans/Zulu). The Forums of their own site actually have parents complaining about how their children have been brought to tears trying to go through the 2nd language content.

After completing the 1st Term Zulu content with my daughter, myself as an adult is unable to understand the Zulu Assessment questions, obviously making it difficult to expect a Grade 1 learner who is only now starting to learn how to read in English let alone in Zulu.

After engaging the online tutor (which is an additional cost) I have been informed that I need to purchase time with additional external tutors to help complete this course.

I find this very dissapointing and disparaging but thought I'd provide this review for other parents considering Think Digital so that you know what you are getting into.
