Please post in plain text because, as you can see, the code
is mangled when you use HTML. However in this case its
easy to spot the problem...

    def talk(self):        print("Hi.I'm, self.name ", "\n")

The second quotation sign should be after I'm, before the comma.
You probably don;t need the \n at the end since print() puts
one in by default.
