You'll only discover problems once you do it. The problems would be parsing the language into a command. Amazon Alexa can run on the Raspberry Pi so I suggest looking at that. There's a reason why they are very complex.
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

why would be problems while parsing the language? for example command will "turn on the tv", python will look for "turn on" then which must turn on, it will find "tv". it is simple in theory.
