Try this:

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

   return both
}

Hello Shannon:

Your answer is a good solution, however there is a more simple way to do this, and one that I think the challenge is expecting. 

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

  return (greeting, language)
}

Again your solution is good, I am just adding an extra solution to your answer :)
