iOS Swift Functions and Optionals Parameters and Tuples Tuples

Whats wrong with this solution? I have been wrestling with this question for a few days now.

I was doing so well... ARGGGHHHAG

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

    return (greeting,"\(language) is what he speaks")
}

greeting("John")

Sorry to be so blunt. I just don't know how to phrase a specific question when I feel this lost.

Hi Lassor, this one was real annoying for me too, so you are not alone. Here's my successful code, which I hope will erase your confusion.

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

    return (greeting, language)
}
var result = greeting("Tom")
println(result.greeting)

Thanks a lot, perfect.
