iOS Swift Functions and Optionals Parameters and Tuples Tuples

I am stuck on the 3rd objective

How am I supposed to use the println statement to print English using the results tuple if the results tuple is a variable and not a tuple. It only has greeting within it and not language. I may be misunderstanding the directions. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong. Please help. Here is my code:

tuples.swift 
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")

println(greeting(language))

These code challenges almost always builds each line of code upon the other... So think about how you would use the variable result where you stored a tuple returned from the greeting(). If you give up, I will hand you the answer :)

Hint: you only need to call greeting() one time in this challenge.
