Treehouse TeacherValeria;
The challenge here in Task 1 is to just print out the bulleted list of continent names. As such, your first line that is printing all of the continents isn't needed.
For your forloop, you don't need the second for statement there and using something like "South America" in there is causing some syntax issues due to a space in that name.
That being said, using "Asia" as the iterable name will work, but is kind of wonky. Recall that a for loop iterates over the members of the sequence (the continents list), in order, and then executes the block of code each time. It would probably be more common, in this case, to have the for statement read:
for continent in continents:
In that code block then you can put the print() statement and the for loop will print it out for each item in the continents list.
Post back if you're still stuck.
Happy coding!

9,831 PointsHey Ken, I would like to know my error code. For the first assignment of writing bulleted names of continents: Here are my code. Is generating AssertionError. for continent in continents: print("*" + continent)
Where am I doing wrong?

Treehouse TeacherIt looks like you are missing the space between the asterisk and the continent name. Add that to your string and you should be all set.
