BANNER PLACEHOLDER

Did you have the feeling that former energy minister and presidential rival Felipe Calderón has accomplished a lot by watching this video? It might be the repetition of the verb lograr that left that impression. In this week's video from Calderón's publicity campaign, there are six--or is that seven?--appearances of the verb lograr--which means "to achieve," "to obtain" or "to succeed in."

In the quote sited above, we translate: "I've got the satisfaction that we succeeded to changing opinion..."

Here's another one:

 

Esa pasión por México tiene que sacarnos adelante, nos va a sacar adelante si logramos canalizarla bien.

That passion for Mexico has to make us prosper, it will make us prosper if we can channel it correctly.
