When I perform this on Xcode, it works fine. Not sure why I am having significant difficulty here

You may be trying to do this:
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning " + language)
This would work in a normal script, but the code challenge wants you to use the more compact and simple way:
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")
This is an easier way to use string interpolation than the first one, and the above is also what the code challenge wants you to use.
Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 227 PointsThanks so much. Unfortunately id didn't work. Yet I understand now more of what interpolation is.

Also if testing in Xcode I have found it gets upset if you don't have a space either side of the = sign.

Courses Plus Student 227 PointsThanks so much for the feedback. I finally did it. It required ("Learning (language)"). Just glad I can move on. I now have interpolation down now. Lol
