console.log error showing Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

I'm trying to get into javascript and just figure out how how to print statements in the console. I keep getting this error in the google chrome console. 

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

my code is 

<html>

<script>
    console.log(“Hello world!”);
</script>

</html>

I'm sure its something really simple that I'm missing. I wrote the code on the textedit app on mac and then converted it to an html file.

You're using “ and ”, which are not valid quotes in the Javascript language. You should use ' or " instead.

Change

console.log(“Hello world!”);

to

console.log("Hello world!");

“ is not valid. Downside to copy/paste :)
