Hi hhgirl

Well, you need to use the verb estar and to conjugate it which means to construct it for the correct person I am (learning)

Please follow this link:enter link description here to the conjugation tool and enter the verb **estar ** given above in the rectangular box where it says enter a verb!

When it shows the table/chart:

Find the form for I am (first person singular)

The verb aprender means to learn but you need the gerund: (ing form like walking) aprendiendo = learning

Write down the I am form of estar and add the form of the verb aprender that I have given you and you will have the verb construction for I am learning.

I have tried to make this answer as straightforward/simple as possible but I have also encouraged you to play a part in this learning experience!

Very Important Update: In reviewing my answer I nearly forgot to add something very important:

There are two ways to say I am learning in Spanish.

The most commonly used way is to use the present tense of the verb, which is ...

I learn in English = aprendo

This can mean I learn or I am learning This is conjugated for the first person singular:: I

The most common way that I have just given you can be used for sny occasion when you need to say: I do/ I am doing something in Spanish eg: I read or I am reading but the form using aprendiendo should only be used when referring to an action that is actually happening at the time NOW!

eg: We are reading = Estamos leyendo or They are cooking = Están cocinando

These are what I call Now actions which call for the present continuous/present progressive tense and are translated using the gerund in English Ing verbs

I hope this helps smile
