Become a Britlish Patron!
The Britlish Library is a free online resource funded entirely by the creator, Richard, and Britlish Patrons. The Britlish Library is not a subscription-based service, and there is no intrusive advertising on site. All users, regardless of whether they become Patrons, have access to the same materials and resources on the site. I believe that the Britlish Library is a valuable resource that should be accessible to all, regardless of their ability to contribute financially. My goal is to provide a sustainable and free platform for language learners and teachers worldwide, and I hope that Britlish Patrons will continue to support me in this mission.
