Your if statement is missing a closing parenthesis.

if(language == "C#"{

should be

if(language == "C#"){

any time you have to "pass in" parameters and a code doesn't compile i usually recommend checking for the few most common syntax errors:

semicolons at the end of (most) statements correct open and close brackets and parenthesis and correct structure for methods, loops etc.

More than likely those are the mistakes i come across most times. I couldn't tell you how many times ive made basic mistakes. We all do.
