I'm finally learning English grammar, and I'm having an issue with understanding the difference between:
- Now I have much more fun learning English than I had before the course.
and
- Now I am having much more fun learning English than I had before the course.
Is there one? Supposedly the correct answer is the former one, but I think that the latter is also correct.
If it helps, I'm solving the Grammar Test from this website:

The former is more traditionally and grammatically-correct.
The latter is a statement that reflects a 1980's-forward-to-present day evolution of the same sentiment, but in a conversational fashion.
The differences are fine, but it is safe to say that a young person using the former statement expresses a genuine satisfaction at learning English, and the same young person using the latter expresses a gushing, emphatic ebullience about learning English.
