I have made a mistake again and have no idea what it is and how to correct it. look at video 5x no clue.

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
  String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you?  ");
  int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
    if (age < 13) {
      console.printf("Sorry, you must be at least 13 to use this program. \n");
        System.exit(0);
    }
  String name = console.readLine("Enter your name:  ");
  String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
  String noun;
  boolean isInvalidWord;
         do {
    noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
           isInvalidWord = (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork")|| 
                             noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
 if (isInvalidWord) {      
    console.printf("The language is not allowed. Try again! \n\n");
    }
 } while(isInvalidWord);

You are likely missing a closing brace '}' somewhere in your code.

Be sure that after the chunk of code you showed above, there is a '}' closing the "public static void main(String[] args)" code block and that there is a '}' closing the "public class TreeStory" code block.

public class TreeStory{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        //code....
    } 
}
