On page seven of the phrases, it says, "Estoy a punto de..." for, "I am about to...", but I thought it is said,"Estoy para..." Does it make any difference which is used?

"Estoy a punto de..." indicates at this exact moment I am going to do something.

"Estoy para..." is a little less exact in the timeframe, but that I am ready to do something.

I didn´t know we could use estar-para for that. I need to go find and read some examples. Estoy para comenzar la carrera? - rogspax, Sep 21, 2013
