Cannot figure out the correct string interpolation in this challenge.

Changed the code numerous times. Initially the code was [let language = "Swift"] I changed it to [let language: String = "Swift"] Then I added println("Learning \ (language)") but it does not work. I have tried using the plus symbol nd leaving the first line alone but with no results.

println.swift 
let language: String = "Swift"
println("Learning \ (language)")

You actually did this quite well! However, you just made a minor error with your syntax.

Here, your code follows as:

let language: String = "Swift"
println("Learning \ (language)")

NOW ONTO THE GUIDANCE TO THE ANSWER

You're trying to call a variable into a string, but what you did is \ (variable_name) instead of (variable_name) Hopefully this answer is good enough to get you on your feet and going again!

Happy Coding.

Thanks for the help. The module was jumping around a bit and the challenge was a bit of a trick in disguise. Onto the next module!
