Going to be talking

Today I had a presentation in my English lesson in front of my class. During my introduction of my topic, I said this:

"I am going to be talking about the images of the Czech Republic which seem most typical for our country to me."

I'd like to ask whether it is fine to use in this particular case going to be + present participle form (or alternatively will be + present participle).

And if so, what would be the difference between going to be + present participle or going to + infinitiv?

Thank you very much in advance.

  • 'Going to' is better, as it suggests more that you are explaining your plan.
