When you want to express the verb as something that is currently being done, you have to add
"-iendo" at the end of the verb which denotes it as a gerund (current action in present form).
Todos estamos aprend[iendo] como decir, como escribir y como leer en una otra idioma.
We are all learning how to say, how to write, and how to read in another language.
When you want to say something about your's or someone's age, you do not use the "Ser" or "Estar". Instead you use the appropriate conjuagation of "Tener". You also follow this principle when expressing hunger or thirst.
Tu tienes vente-sais (26) años. = You are 26 years old.
Ellos tienan hambre = They are hungry.
I hope this helps!
