A2 Spanish listening practice · Venezuelan Spanish · Picked for people who know a little
A Venezuelan creator celebrates his country winning the baseball world classic. He says his people work hard and fight for their dreams every day, “y ahora lo estamos logrando” — “and now we’re achieving it.” The word “logrando” shows the win is still unfolding, live in the moment, not something already finished. That is why his emotion feels so raw: it is happening right now as he speaks.
Spoken line: “gente que lucha cada día por sus sueños, y ahora lo estamos logrando.” — “people who fight every day for their dreams, and now we’re achieving it.” “Lograr” means to achieve or pull something off. The form “logrando” (with “estamos”) shows the action is in progress right now, not yet finished. Examples: - Lo estamos logrando poco a poco. — We’re achieving it little by little. - Después de tanto esfuerzo, por fin lo estoy logrando. — After so much effort, I’m finally pulling it off. - Juntos lo vamos a lograr. — Together we’re going to make it happen. Usage notes: “lo” stands in for “it” — the goal or dream. People often say “lo estamos logrando” in happy, emotional moments, like winning or finishing something big after a long effort.
