Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsYou've got the creating of the constant part down. There are a number of ways you might print it along with a string:
- By string concatenation ("joining together" of strings):
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning " + language)
- Or, by string interpolation(a handy way to insert variables or other code into an existing string)
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")
Hope that helps.

Earlier we learned about string interpolation which is how we include the value of a variable within a println statement for example, in this task we need to use interpolation to include the value of language within a println declaration.
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")
Happy coding!

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsBoth will give the same result, most people would prefer the interpolation method in cases like this. I'm not sure whether the Treehouse challenge will accept both, so try the other if it fails :)
