0 As for your question,I would pick #2.02br

001. "I am speaking English." does not sound right to me.02br
00"I speak English." means I have an ablity to speak English.02br
00"I am having an ability to speak English." is kind of wierd, unless you have some kind of super power that allows you to turn the skill on and off at your will.02br

00John: 01i00I'm having trouble hearing him, too, but I think he's speaking English. It's really hard to be sure, isn't it? 02i02br
