How to Say "enjoying" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “enjoying” is “disfrutando” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

We are really enjoying the party.
Mi abuela sigue disfrutando de buena salud a los 90 años.
My grandmother is still enjoying good health at 90 years old.
Pasaron toda la tarde disfrutando del paisaje.

The Continuous Action
The '-ando' ending is the Spanish way to say '-ing.' It tells you the action (enjoying) is currently happening or ongoing.
Pairing with 'Estar'
To talk about something happening right now, you must use a form of the verb 'estar' (to be) plus 'disfrutando.' Example: 'Estoy disfrutando' (I am enjoying).
Forgetting 'Estar'
Mistake: “Yo disfrutando la película.”
Correction: Yo estoy disfrutando la película. (You need 'estar' to hold the continuous action together.)
Misusing the Preposition
Mistake: “Estamos disfrutando con el viaje.”
Correction: Estamos disfrutando del viaje. (Often, 'disfrutar' takes the preposition 'de' before the thing being enjoyed.)
