It runs fine in Xcode and gives me all the needed information
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
let both = (greeting, language)
return both
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println(result)

The last line needs you to print out the language part of the tuple. You can do that with dot notation, such as:
println(result.language)
By way of completeness, your code could be one line shorter without losing much in clarity:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
That does exactly the same thing and the longer version is no big deal! It's only one line!

you were almost there. You want to print just the language part from the results variable so you need to access it like so:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println(result.language)
