"there is" + present progressive
I was reading about how está/estan is used instead of "hay" when saying that there is/are (something) in a particular place.
Like, if saying "There are red cars" ('Hay coches rojos'?), but if saying "There is someone in my car" ('Está alguien en mi coche'?). Right? But what if you are saying that "There is (someone) doing (something)." I know present progressive is conjugated with "estar" + (verb with "ando/iendo"). But what if I was saying "There is a man speaking with my brother."? Está un hombre está hablando con mi hermano.  The two "está"s in that sentence look awkward.
