'actor's part' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right word of encouragement' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'word of encouragement' becomes 'ole' (Spanish exclamation).
'r'+'ole'='ROLE'

'for spanish' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for role that I've seen before include "Part (in drama)" , "Part played (in life?)" , "Character" , "Impersonation" , "Part in play, film etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
