The quotes you see are part of the println function, when executed a string for instance is wrapped with quotes in the console output thus the value is actually what you would expect to see.
Hope that clears up any confusion.

That is because you are missing the \ in the syntax. Try this :
func greeting(person: String) {
println("Hello \(person)")
}
