Hi Giulia

The task wants you to create a variable name which contains the string 'yourname'. The second part of the challenge wants you to create a variable name subject which concatenates the string "Treehouse Loves "+name. Your were very close with your code.

see below

name = 'Giulia' # remove the space from the front of your name
subject = 'Treehouse loves '+name # concatenate the string "Treehouse loves" and your variable name

happy coding
