Spáinnis Play (Junior Cycle)

Spáinnis Play turns Junior Cycle Spanish writing practice into something you'll actually do.

Built by Oide Rolando Hanlon — a native Spanish-speaking teacher and Junior Cycle Spanish examiner — this is the writing toolkit your phone was missing. Learn the building blocks that earn marks, then put them together exactly like the real exam.

What you get — 11 sections on one simple, swipe-friendly app:

Seven skill-builders (learn the blocks): • Synonyms — say it más o menos lo mismo • Adjectives — colour, variety and agreement • Modismos — idioms that lift your writing • Linking words — connect your ideas • Prepositions — a, en, de, por, para… • Write it right — spelling, accents and grammar • Common verbs — and which exam question each one fits

Four capstones (put it together): • Frase Builder — build full sentences by tense • Spot the slip — proofread like an examiner • Word Search — find the words, unlock a model answer • Crea tu escena — read the Spanish, build the scene

Why it's different: every line is written and checked by a native speaker who marks the Junior Cycle exam. Real Spanish, real accents, real exam questions — not generic flashcards. There's Spanish audio on every answer, and it works in any browser with nothing to install.

A grind costs €30–€50 an hour. Spáinnis Play is €3.99 — and your child can use it right up to the exam.

How it works: After you buy, you'll receive a unique access code. Go to hanloncreativepress.ie, open the Spáinnis Play page, enter your code, and the app unlocks — on your phone, tablet or laptop.
