You're welcome. I hope I didn't throw too much jargon at you. I'm learning to be a music teacher so this is great practise for me

do you know chord substitution?
Yes, they are. Especially in jazz! As for chord substitution, in this case ii is taking the place of IV. Where the progression would normally be (if following the traditional rules) IV-V(7)-I, here it is changed to ii-V7-I. Chord substitution isn't hard and is used in all kinds of music, even classical.
