interpolating strings into the println function

I am doing a challenge where it asks me to interpolate a constant language string into the println function. I am a beginner so I am still getting a hang of the fundamentals. I have tried a variety of different things but am stuck now.

println.swift 
let language: String = "Swift"

print("Learning / (language)")

Hi Jaden,

You're very close. First, the function is println, so that needs a little adjusting.

Then, to interpolate a string from a variable you first surround the variable name in brackets then precede that with a backslash. \(language)

Your finished result looks like:

let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")

Hope that helps!

Steve.
