Java Hibernate Basics Getting Started with Hibernate Adding JPA Annotations to an Entity

Where am I going wrong?

Course question: Annotate the Language class with JPA annotations so that Language objects can be persisted to the database. Be sure to mark the ID as a generate value, using the IDENTITY strategy. Where am I going wrong?

com/teamtreehouse/coding/model/Language.java 
package com.teamtreehouse.coding.model;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class Language {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
  private Long id;

  @Column
  private String name;

  @Override
  public Language(Long id, String name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
  }

  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }

  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
}

//removed code here
  public Language(Long id, String name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
  }

I'm no expert, but i'm not sure it makes sense to indicate that the constructor overrides
