Why isn't this working?

I don't know why this isn't returning the greeting and the language.

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

    return = (greeting, language)
}

very close. your tuple return should look like this...

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

    return (greeting, language)
}

also there is no = sign used after return. if you have any questions about the remainder of the challenge dont hesitate to ask.
