This works in playground and returns (.0 "English", .1 "Hello Tom"). Any help would be appreciated.

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

return (language, greeting)

}

var result = greeting("Tom")

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

    return (language, greeting)
}

var result = greeting("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)")

There's a few ways to do this, but this is how I arrived at the solution. I hope this helps, sir!
