This is something like:
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
That accesses the currencies dictionary by using the key "UK". That returns the value associated with that key and stores it in the constant (declared with a let not a var) called ukCurrency.
Let me know if that gets you through.
Steve.

57,712 PointsHi Johnny,
There's two stages to the challenge - the first is to declare the dictionary:
let currencies = ["US" : "Dollar", "UK" : "Pound", "JP" : "Yen"]
Then the next part is to create the ukCurrency constant:
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
So, you end up with two lines of code:
let currencies = ["US" : "Dollar", "UK" : "Pound", "JP" : "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
That does pass the challenge. Let me know if you're still stuck and paste your code if you are.
Steve.
