What I am concerned about, is languages.

English is language of aviation... yes... but is it of your passengers...?
There are people that have no clue as to what "evacuate left/right" means.

Most situations, this does not apply - but...
If you fly groups of people, pilgrims from Indonesia, refugees from Rwanda, their language is necessary.
It should be required that at least one local "cabin service representative" assist for languages.

In my career, I have seen people not knowing how to handle
airstairs, to get to the airplane.
They can recognize a seat. But no clue as to what a seat belt is for. Undoing it is a major task.
Let us talk about what a toilet is for, "press here to flush" (you make me laugh).

Cabin crews - my advice: demonstrate if you crash and burn, God forbid.
Evacuation - be the first to jump down the slide - they might do same and follow you...
If they see flames on one side, they might have the idea that it is better to get the out on the other.

Every airplane leased for operations overseas should have placards in local language.
English might be worthless.
Brush up on your Mongolian, Swahili, Lingala or Tibetan...
Or hire a local for $20.oo per flight, food and bed, to translate.
And roasting a goat in the aisle is better with Halon bottle at hand.
