Hello:

String interpolation has to go inside the quotes.. 

var someVar = "Anything that goes in here \(including interpolation) will be a string" 

// Your challenge 

let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")

Good luck

First of all you need to use println() Interpolation - println("some text goes here (var or let)")

let language = "Swift"
println("Learning \(language)")

Ahhhh.... It seems my placement is incorrect and I have too many parentheses and quote marks. Thanks!
