What am I doing wrong?

The code is still giving me an error. What is the right answer for this?

tuples.swift 
func greeting(person: String) -> (String, String) {

    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting: String, language: String)
}

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

    return (greeting, language)
}

First, we must modify how many values the function will give us. So rather than one value (string), we are telling the function that we will get two. We then name them because the challenge says, "Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language."

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String)

Then we match our return tuple 

 return (greeting, language)

You were pretty close!

Happy Coding!
