Let’s review first:

Present tense -

I speak - (Yo) Hablo.

Paul listens - Pablo escucha.

We study - (Nosotros) Estudiamos.

We can also say these:

I am speaking - (Yo) Hablo.

Not this year!

We are going to take a “detour” -

Paul is going to listen.

We are going to study.

The girls are going to help.

You are going to teach.

We will use the verb IR

We will put an “a” after the form of IR
