This list includes definitions in multiple languages to help students learn PTE words faster and easier by using their native language. You can check if your native language is in the options. If yes, select it, and then you can see that every word has a definition in your familiar language.

This feature will speed up your job by leveraging your knowledge of your native language. Many visitors like this feature; they learn PTE words in Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and more. Hopefully, you are one of them and get the word list in your native language, too. This feature can save non-English speakers much time building vocabulary in test preparation.
