Default Present Perfect X Present Perfect Continuous

Hai guyz
this is my frist time here so Id like you to know that I'm really happy for being a member of such an amazing forum like this.

Well, I have a doubt about the difference between PRESENT PERFECT and PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS.

For example:

01. I HAVE STUDIED ENGLISH FOR THREE YEARS.
02. I HAVE BEEN STUDYING ENGLISH FOR THREE YEARS.


Is there any difference between these two sentences?

What I think about that is that the differente is at the moment of speaking.
I mean, when someone says the sencente #2 it is because he is doing the action at the moment of speaking.
Am I right?


Well I hope somebody can help me.


Aloha
