Hi Bartek,

You’re really close here. Two things you’ll want to change.

The first is name is not defined within the praise function, but it will be a property of the self object that is passed into the function. And so you’ll need to retrieve it as a property of self (i.e. self.name).

The second thing is the challenge asks you to return a phrase (i.e. a string), but you’re printing it to the console and returning nothing.

Fix those two things, and you will pass the challenge.
