Shadowing Practice: 8 Signs A Guy Secretly Likes You - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
2
Has a guy ever confessed that he's had a crush on you while you never even had a clue?
3
Do you have a close guy friend
4
that everyone says has feelings for you even though you think he just sees you as a friend?
5
is there someone special you like but you just can't seem to figure out how he feels about you
6
If you answered yes to any of these questions, well, you're certainly not alone.
7
Because when it comes to understanding guys and their feelings, a lot of the time they can be hard to read.
8
So if you really want to know how a guy feels about you, here are eight signs that can help you figure out when a guy likes you.
9
Number one.
10
He sends you a lot of nonverbal signs.
11
whether it's his body language or his tone of voice.
12
Pay close attention to how a guy acts when he's around.
13
Most people often unknowingly send a lot of non -verbal signs and signals that communicate their true feelings towards you.
14
Does he lean in closer when you talk to him?
15
Is he always trying to sit or walk beside you?
16
Does he often mirror your actions and gestures?
17
Psychology says these are all common signs of romantic attraction, along with mutual eye contact, playful touching, or self -conscious behaviors like grooming or fidgeting.
18
Number two, he spends a lot of time with you.
19
If a guy secretly has a crush on you, then he'll constantly be looking for ways to see you and spend more time with you.
20
They'll often come up to talk to you, text you a lot, and invite you to hang out or do things with them.
21
But some guys might be too shy to initiate conversations with you especially if you don't know each other that well yet.
22
And it might just try to run into you or bump into you somewhere and hope that it leads to something more.
23
Number three, he never talks about other girls around you.
24
Do you think a guy in your life might have some feelings for you?
25
Well, here's one good way to know.
26
Think back to the last few conversations you've had with him.
27
Has he talked about or mentioned other girls around you?
28
If the answer is no, then that's probably because he likes you.
29
He's careful not to talk about other girls around you, unless someone else brings it up, because he doesn't want you thinking that he's interested in anyone else.
30
Number four, he asks you a lot of questions.
31
When a guy likes you, he might pay special attention to you and only you.
32
He asks you a lot of personal questions, wants to get to know you better, and listens to you attentively when you're talking to him.
33
They might even ask you about your relationship status or what kind of guys you like.
34
At the very least, it means he enjoys talking to you and thinks you're fun and interesting.
35
Number five, he subtly tries to impress you.
36
As cliche and outdated as it may seem, some guys will try to win over the girl they like by finding ways to impress her, whether it's with his talent,
37
intelligence, strength, or good looks.
38
Why?
39
Because according to evolutionary psychology theories, we often want to appear our best,
40
most desirable selves in order to entice possible romantic partners into pursuing a relationship with us.
41
So, next time you're with a guy, try to see if they're making an effort to look nicer for you, or seem cooler, friendlier, smarter, or funnier.
42
Speaking of which, that brings us to our next point.
43
Number six, he's often protective of you.
44
You may notice him acting more protective towards you than his other friends.
45
Say, for example, always walking you home at night or staying by your side in a crowded space.
46
It likely means he sees you as someone he values and wants to protect.
47
Number seven, he's always smiling around you.
48
While you might dismiss a guy's smile as a sign that he's simply in a good mood, psychology says it's worth taking a second to notice,
49
especially if he seems like he's always cheerful around you in particular.
50
Does he smile at you in a greeting every time without fail?
51
Or laugh a lot when you're around?
52
Does he seem to perk up the moment he sees you? or have a positive change in mood when talking to you.
53
Pay close attention to how he acts around you and compare it with how he acts around other people.
54
If you notice he seems happier and is always smiling around you, then that could be a sign that he likes you.
55
And number eight, he's always trying to make you smile too.
56
Finally, when a guy likes you, not only will he be laughing and smiling around you, he'll always try to make you smile too.
57
Most guys try to crack a few jokes, goof off, or tease the girl they like to make her laugh.
58
While others might shower her with compliments or thoughtful little gifts.
59
Either way, when a guy seems to constantly be doing things to get your attention and put you in a good mood, then that might be a sign that you've already won his heart.

Practice Tips
To effectively utilize this video for your English learning, follow these shadowing techniques:
- Shadowing: Listen to the video carefully and repeat phrases exactly as you hear them. This will help with pronunciation and tone. Given the engaging nature of the topic, you'll find the pace manageable for shadow speaks practice.
- Slow it down: Use YouTube’s playback speed feature to slow down the video when necessary. This can aid in understanding the words and phrases as you practice speaking along with the speaker.
- Record yourself: After shadowing, try summarizing the main points in your own words and record yourself. Playback will help highlight areas where your pronunciation may need improvement.
- Engage with the content: Discuss your thoughts on the topic with a friend or in a language exchange group. This not only enhances your speaking skills but also provides real-world context to what you have learned.
- Focus on intonation: Pay attention to how the speaker emphasizes certain words. Mimicking this can significantly enhance your speaking style and ensure you sound natural when expressing similar thoughts.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | you've had · Has he talked · you've already won |
| Possibility with “might / may” might/may + verb — something that is possible but not certain | might be · might just try · might have |
| Future with “will” will + verb — a decision, promise or prediction | he'll constantly · They'll often come · will try |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — something happening right now or around now | Is he always trying · you're talking · they're making |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
