So as for why that won't run, you need to remove the space between the \ and the (, and wrap it all in "" like this:

let language = "Swift"
println ("/(language) Swift")

if you are just trying to concatenate the two together without using a formatted string it would look like this 

let language = "Swift"
println (language + " Swift")

if you're just trying to print the word swift you can do it like

let language = "Swift"
println (language)

or 

let language = "Swift"
println ("Swift")

print and println differ primarily that println prints on a new line, and print just prints on the current line (meaning that println is more useful in most cases).
