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

I have no idea why is this not working

println.swift 
let language = "Swift"

println ("Learning  \ (language)")

In your 

println("Learning \ (language)")

you can't have a space between the "\" and the beginning of the "(language)". If you leave the code as is, Swift will output the whole statement in your println() as a string as written.

The correct line of code will look like: 

println("Learning \(language)")
