Back wǒ zài xué zhōng wén

I am studying Chinese.

(This use of 在 creates a present continuous tense.  But it is only used for what is being done right now.  It can be used for: "what are you doing now?  I'm studying Chinese." but not "what do you do here in China?  I'm studying Chinese."  The second example is a sustained habitual action that may not be taking place right this moment.)
