Hey Joaquin,

Challenges are very specific, so you have to pay close attention to what is being asked. This Task asks to "Declare a variable named language and assign the string "Swift".

You have declared a variable named 'str' and assigned it the string "language." For Task one, you only need one line of code to declare and assign the variable.

var language = "Swift"

This way the variable (var) is called 'language' and the string assigned is "Swift"

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
