I find this the best channel and here is why 1-there are subtitles include Chinese, English and pinyin 2-at the end of the video there is a summary of the words she taught 3-her hand movements help me concentrate 4-she only speaks the phrases in the subtitles and don't speak random examples which could make me lose attention

I didn't know 左右 could also mean to control/manipulate. I have mostly seen it used to indicate estimation. Thank you for the lesson.
