Spáinnis Play
The Junior Cycle Spanish writing toolkit — vocabulary, verbs, idioms, accents and exam-style practice, all in one app you can use on your phone. Learn the building blocks, then put them together like the real exam.
Why it works
Built around the way the Junior Cycle Spanish exam actually rewards answers — not generic flashcards.
Made for the JC exam
Every section maps to what the Writing section asks — the words, verbs and structures that actually earn marks.
Learn, then apply
Seven skill-builders teach the building blocks; five capstones make you put them together like the real exam.
Native-speaker accurate
Every line written and checked by a native Spanish speaker who marks the Junior Cycle exam. Real Spanish, real accents.
Phone-first, no installs
Works in any browser. Tap-based, with Spanish audio on every answer. Study on the bus, in ten-minute bursts.
Catch your own slips
Proofreading and accent drills teach students to find mistakes before the examiner does — where easy marks leak.
Great for EAL & heritage speakers
A dedicated "write it right" section helps fluent speakers turn spoken Spanish into accurate written marks.
