What it actually is

A Taiwanese teacher whose channel is unusually strong on the things textbooks gloss over: tone pairs, tone changes in fast speech, mouth position for tricky sounds, and the difference between mainland and Taiwanese pronunciation. Explanations are in English with Chinese examples, so it works from day one. She speaks Taiwanese Mandarin, which is a feature if that's your target and a minor accent difference if it isn't.
