This is one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen all week. A short video showing how Voldemort’s laugh was dubbed in different languages:
Listening to the video confirmed that I’m a native speaker of Russian because that’s the laugh that sounded the most natural to me.
I’ve detested my native language since childhood, which has resulted in me choosing my profession and trying to escape into other languages.
Being a linguistically minded person who’s really into language but who feels animosity towards their own is quite an experience, let me tell you. I’m not saying it’s all bad because, hey, it makes me a living and it’s really cool to be multilingual. Most people have no idea what it’s like to be near-native in several languages. But I have no idea what it’s like to feel towards my own language like I feel towards Spanish or English.
