I go is " yo voy." when I try to translate I am going I would expect something like " Estoy iriendo " , or something like that. But, I get Yo Voy. Is there a difference between I go and I am going, in Spanish? thnx Andy

Yes 'voy' can mean 'I go', 'I am going', 'I do go', 'I will go' and in some cases a couple of other things. The present tense in Spanish is much more flexible than English in that way.

This lesson might help you understand it better.
