So you are not supposed to type "Learning Swift". Swift is already assigned to a constant so you need to call that in the code like this.

let language = "Swift"

println("Learning \(language)")

Hi Ana, remember variables and constants are like boxes for data or information.

So imagine

let language = "swift"

is like putting the word or value "swift" inside the box names language. Now we use the function println or print to type out the data or value inside our box, so

ios print("Learning \(language)"
