Not sure why it's saying my result variable is incorrect

The task is asking me to create a variable result and assign it to the tuple returned from the function greeting. Any idea why it says my variable has the wrong assignment?

tuples.swift 
func greeting(#person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = ("Hello \(person)","you speak \(language)")

    return greeting
}

var result = greeting(person: "Tom")

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println("\(result.language)")
