Complex verb tenses: "He estado aprendiendo"

Hi,

In spanish textbooks the complex tenses usually use 2 verbs - a helping verb and main verb - and I'm wondering if it is grammatically correct to combine more than 2 verbs in a row. For instance, if I want to say "I have been learning" it seems like one would say "He estado aprendiendo" but I'm not sure if that's acceptable...

Luke, perfect example, the structure is similar to the English structure here.

I have been learning

(yo) he estado aprendiendo
