note sure what i'm missing and why

'String' is not convertible to '(language: String, greeting: String)' return greeting ^

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

    return greeting
}

(language: String,greeting: String)

If you say that you're going to return a langauge that is a String, and a greeting that is a String, you need to actually do that. So in your return statement say something like

return (language: language, greeting: greeting);

That may not be right, so let me know what happens. :P
