You're code is not working on this for some reason. You want the fancy stuff instead of just having the code be plain t

not too thrilled right now. I did what was asked, the code won't run.

println.swift 
let language = "Swift"
println("Learning /(language)")

the swift eBook states:

String interpolation is a way to construct a new String value from a mix of constants, variables, literals, and expressions by including their values inside a string literal. Each item that you insert into the string literal is wrapped in a pair of parentheses, prefixed by a backslash

your slash is the wrong type. to use interpolation you need to use a backslash \ not a forward slash /

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