EDITORIAL 3 5/2018 Spotlight
FROM THE EDITOR
INEZ SHARP, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF i.sharp@spotlight-verlag.de
What is the best way to learn a language? According to Vivian Cook, emeritus professor of applied linguistics at Newcastle University in the UK, find out what works for you and stick with it. With that excellent advice in mind, we present dozens of ideas for you to try out: from a trip in “English” to your local supermarket to fun games for family and friends. “Simply bet-ter English”, which begins on page 14, includes a wonderfully motivating interview with Professor Cook, and learning tips from you, the reader. A big “thank you” to everyone who sent in suggestions.
For those of you who like to learn digitally, we are proud to present new versions of Spotlight magazine and Spotlight plus where exercises can be done interactively — from gap-filling to multiple choice. This feature is available immediately and at no extra charge if you already have the digital version of the product. You’ll find more at spotlight-online.de/interaktiv
Are you looking for Colin Beaven’s column Britain Today? This month, he’s taken a trip through the magazine and land-ed on page 71. We are planning a longer journey for him and needed some space to tell you about it. This year sees the launch of Spotlight-Reisen. We are offering guided bilingual trips to Devon in August and September, and one special highlight will be an afternoon and evening in the delightful company of Colin. Find out all about the trips on pages 11–13.

USA Meghan Markle, 36, is the
American divorcée who won Harry’s heart, as well as the
public’s admiration for her role in the popular TV legal drama Suits.
UK Prince Harry, 33. Until
recently, one of the world’s most eligible bachelors.
WORLD MAP
Harry to marryWir stoßen an auf all die tollen Frauen, die über die Jahre hinweg vielleicht auch als Harrys Auserwählte infrage gekommen wären – zumindest in den Augen der Spotlight-Redaktion. MEDIUM
On 19 May, Prince Harry, 33, and now sixth in line to the British throne, will marry American beauty Meghan Markle, 36, at Windsor Castle.
Red-headed Prince Henry of Wales was born to Diana and Charles in 1984. He at-tended the Royal Military Academy Sand-hurst and served in the British Army. His older brother, William, second in line to the throne, married Kate Middleton in 2011. That’s when speculation went wild as to when Harry, “the spare”, would stop partying and settle down.
The answer came late last year in the form of Meghan Markle. The California-born ac-tress (famous as Rachel Zane of the TV series Suits) met Harry in 2016. The couple have had a mostly warm welcome from the public, but have also experienced some ugly reactions to Markle’s mixed-race heritage.
This map takes a look at some of the wom-en who have, over the years, caught the prince’s eye, as well as some of those who, in our editors’ humble opinions, might also have made good matches for handsome Harry.

UK Prince Harry, 33. Until
recently, one of the world’s most eligible bachelors.
ZimbabweChelsy Davy, 32, whom Harry met in 2004, and with whom he had
his longest romantic relationship. The Zimbabwe-born socialite and lawyer remained friends with him when their on-again-off-
again relationship ended in 2011.
NorwayCamilla Romestrand, age unknown, says she had a brief affair with Harry after his break-up with Chelsy Davy
(below). The Norwegian singer was a member of a British band at the time.
UKCressida Bonas, 29, an
aristocratic actress who dated Harry from 2012 to
2014. She told the BBC that the intense media attention
killed the relationship.
Ellie Goulding, 31, an English pop singer who was linked to the prince
after they were seen together at a polo match. A romantic relationship was never confirmed. They are said to be
good friends.
India Rose James, 26, a London heiress whose grandfather made his money in adult entertainment and property, and who has never dated Harry. Our editors think she would
have made a daring choice of partner.
IsraelOshrat Bachar, 40-ish, the first female combat battalion commander in the Israeli Defense
Forces, has no connec-tion to Harry and is
married. Were this not the case, says a Spotlight editor, she could have made a cool match for
the prince.
TurkeyElif Shafak, 46, a Turkish
novelist who has never been linked to the prince. One of our editors thinks, despite the age difference, the outspoken intellectual would make a good choice
for Harry — if she were single and interested.
WORLD MAP
North KoreaHyon Song-wol, 40-ish, has led the Moranbong
Band, “North Korea’s Spice Girls”, and is said to be an
ex-girlfriend of dictator Kim Jong-un. She’s married
and has no links to Harry. Would a match here have
been good for world peace?

California dreamin’? No, it’s the new, more liberal reality
IN THE SPOTLIGHTNEWS AND VIEWS
UNITED STATES
Where there’s smoke, there’s moneyEASY US
Forget the California Gold Rush of the 1800s. This is the time of the California green rush, thanks to the state’s marijua-na industry, which is expected to be worth more than $5 billion by 2019.
One of the people joining the green rush is ex-boxer Mike Tyson. Tyson, 51, who has said he used marijuana in his boxing career, is building a resort for marijuana growers
and users on 40 acres in California City, about 110 miles from Los Angeles. Half the resort will be used to grow new strains of marijuana and do research on the drug’s medical benefits. There will be a school for growers, luxury campgrounds, and an amphitheater. California legalized medical marijuana in 2005, and recreational mari-juana at the start of this year.
