I can't fully understand the instruction: pass the string "Tom" to the greeting function?
func greetingFunc(#greeting: String, #language: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let feedback = (greeting, language)
return feedback
}
greetingFunc(greeting: "Hello", language: "English")

That is, the input parameters don't need to be changed, only the return parameter. In this case, we want to return a named tuple, which, just as any function parameter, looks like (name: Type, name: Type) etc.
You can now return the greeting and the language constant via this tuple.
Moreover, the result, that is the tuple can be assigned to a variable as you can see below.
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
Hope that helps :)
P.S. You are working on a Swift 1 course which I consider deprecated, although you still can learn a lot of Swift here. However, with Swift 2 being around for a year now and Swift 3 being released with the new Xcode beta, I recommend doing the Swift 2 Track here on Treehouse.
