disagree Noni Gilbert Riley : I'm not often moved to disagree, but the fact that you say that you are completely confident, means that I cannot let this pass: "familiar" does not mean "of the family" in normal English usage. Family would be the adjective.

neutral Brett Thomas : I agree with the above comment. This is badly written in Spanish which doesn't help!

neutral patinba : and I agree with both the above

Too late I guess... No importa, una sugerencia más que se me ocurrió solo ahora y que prefiero antes que todas: ENDEAVOUR(S). Es una palabra que lo abarca todo en mi opinión más indicada que EFFORT. Saludos a todos ;-)
