I tried to modify the -> to (String, String) and the return to return (greeting, language) and many other ways but no go

I don't thing I understand what they are asking in the challenge

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

    return (greeting, language)
}

Hi there,

You're pretty much there but you need to name the components in the returned tuple in the method signature:

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

    return (greeting, language)
}

Hope that helps!

Steve.

Thank you Steve, I've been stuck on this one for 4 days. I see that by naming the strings in the original return made all the difference. I appreciate the help.
