in dutch, if you wanna say something in present continuous tense the pattern is like "ik ben aan het ...." for example if you wanna say "I'm studying" in dutch is "ik ben aan het studeren" and then " I'm reading" = "ik ben aan het lezen" but if you wanna say it in simple present like "I study dutch" = "ik studeer nederlands", "I learn dutch" = "ik leer nederlands" like that. hope it helps, diah

Also, the reason why it directly translates to 'I am the learning' is because 'het' also is an article meaning 'the'. for example: 'the house' = 'het huis'. You could also say 'ik ben het aan het leren', where the first 'het' means it. In other words, it means different things in different situations and a direct translator usually won't understand that.
