Hey @Raziel Martinez (https://teamtreehouse.com/razielmartinez) , you don’t need to access the index of a list, per se, but rather that a str object is similar to a list in that you may access each letter as if it were an item in a list. So the first letter of a string is at index 0. This would be written as string[0].
Next, add a filter to eliminate continents not beginning with “A” (an if statement may help here).
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
