Here are three English translations of "Estudio español."

I study Spanish.
I do study Spanish.
I'm studying Spanish.

There is also one more translation of the Spanish present tense into English. It is used to express the 'near future'.
I will (soon) study Spanish.

'Estoy estudiando' is not the present tense; it's called the progressive/continuous form, and is used when you are in the very act of doing something.
