Don't forget that in English the names of language are capitalized and you need punctuation at the end of sentences. - --Mariana--, Aug 7, 2012

As Katy says, both are perfect.

In English, many times you can use the gerund or the infinitive to mean the same thing---

  • I like swimming (gerund). I like to swim (infinitive)

  • I am going swimming this afternoon (gerund). I am going to swim this afternoon (infinitive).
