Get value from multidimensional array in swift

I have the following array in Swift:

var words = [
        "English" : ["Hello", "Bye"],
        "Spanish" : ["Hola", "Adios"]
    ]

How can I get the value for index, something as the following doesn't work

print(words["English"][0])

It throws the error: Value of optional type Array? not unwrapped, did you mean to use ! or ? but that just makes it:

print(words["English"]?[0])

and still doesn't work, please help.

You need to look into how to unwrap optionals. For example, what you are trying to do could be done either of these two ways:

Force unwrapping:

print(words["English"]![0])

Safe unwrapping:

if let hello = words["English"]?[0]{
    print(hello)
}
