Python Python Basics (Retired) Shopping List Lists and Strings

Problem Lists and Strings Objectives Oops !

I'm sorry, but I can't finish this exercise... I barely understand what I've to do (english isn't my first language) so it's becoming quite complicated ! If someone can explain me where I'm wrong in my code :D !

Here are the instructions : "Great! Finally, make a variable named greeting where you join greeting_list back into a string, separated by spaces. You should end up with "Hi, I'm <your first name>" as the value of greeting."

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Lucie Drouet"

name_list = full_name.split()



greeting_list = ["Hi, I'm Lucie Drouet"].split()

greeting = ' '.join(greeting_list)

You need to modify greeting_list. The rest of your code is OK ;)

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(name_list[0]).split()

You're welcome :) I have to admit that Python challenges are the most difficult from those I've encountered on Treehouse. But on the other hand I think I learn the most from that approach.
