Is it the same as "I am doing" in English"?

Yes it is. It is the present continuous (or present imperfective} implying that the action is continuing at the moment. All present tenses are usually imperfective, but this form emphasises the ongoing nature of the action.

It's called the 'present continuous' in English and has the same meaning as "I am doing/making."
The Spanish (at least, in Spain) use it less frequently than the Brits. Often, they use the simple present tense when we use the present continuous - but things are changing.

Correct!
estoy = I am (presente de indicativo del verbo estar)
haciendo = doing (gerundio)

Yep, it means "I am making" or "I am doing"...
ex. Estoy haciendo la cama...I am making the bed.
ex. Estoy haciendo muchos quehaceres...I am doing many chores/ errands.
It's called the present progressive...=)

The subjunctive isn't a annoying; quite, it incredibly is a temper. it incredibly is the gerund, an action it incredibly is happening now, and contiues into the destiny. recomiendo does not propose " I reccomend", It potential " i'm reccomending". additionally universal simply by fact the present ingenious.
