Good on you. All I can say when teaching kids is they need to see results quickly to remain engaged. Broad scopes don't play well. Call it agile learning. Tiny little tasks that amount to something measureable quickly. Then their own interest (should it be piqued) will have them willing to pursue more detailed concepts later.
Those knocking him for trying are ridiculous. So what if a language becomes outdated. The general concepts learned can be transferred.
Plus it allows an early opportunity for these kids to see if they actually like it or not. For nothing more than their uncle's time and a bit of their own.
