Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this challenge. Try no to get discouraged. :) The first part of the challenge it looks like you have it correct but you can simplify it by using the variable available.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
The second part asks to create a menu variable and make it equal to the string as shown below.
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
The third part of the challenge wants you to join the string in sundaes and then format the menu string.
string = ', '.join(sundaes)
menu = menu.format(string)
A good way to see what is going on here is to do this in the console so see what .split() and ''.join do to strings.
