Learning Swift Challenge

I'm on the Swift Basics challenge where it asks you to put a println to say "Learning Swift"

What am i doing wrong with the syntax?

println("Learning /(language)")

println.swift 
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning /(language)");

Hey Stefan,

you almost got it right but to interpolate a variable/constant you have to write a backslash instead of a forward slash before the parentheses. Also note that you can omit the semicolon in the end.

Like so:

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

I hope that helps! :)
