Hi Terence!

I can relate to what you're feeling, but don't lose hope! This stuff is tricky, and you're doing fine.

This task is asking you to create a new variable named greeting_list, so you need to start by putting that on a new line. Then, all you have to do is split the string "Hi, I'm Treehouse" (the same way you did full_name) and assign that to greeting_list.

I hope this helps! Please mark this as the Best Answer if it was most helpful.

Be Well, Graham
