BarryFunEnglish

BarryFunEnglish is a site with a comprehensive range of resources for practising English. There are interactive and printable flashcards, games, worksheets and teaching tools. The teaching tools and printable flashcards are completely free to use, while the other resources ‘cost’ 1 credit per use. Signing up for a free account gives you 8 free credits per month, or alternatively you can subscribe for $3 a month for unlimited credits.

The tools section includes a selector, score keeper and timer that are a good alternative to the ones offered on Triptico. However, just like Triptico, the resources require the Flash plugin, which can have issues with certain browsers. In addition, it has been announced that Adobe is discontinuing support for Flash in 2020. The creators of these resources will therefore have to look at alternative ways to deliver their tools in the future.
