Here are some words I have seen in conversations that I can't find a good translation of, so I'd be very grateful for any insight:

habituándome poniendome bajándome bañándome

The list goes on, but I can't work it out :S

This is the gerundio (gerund) form of the verb (close to what in English we call the present participle) with the pronoun me attached.

verb stem+ando for regular AR verbs

verb stem+iendo for regular ER and IR verbs.

habl+ándo+me

habl+ándo+te (nothing special about the pronoun me)

The object pronoun can be attached to positive commands, the gerundio, or to verb infinitives.
