+    function translatePigLatin(str) {
+      if (str.match(/^[aeiou]/)) return str + "way";
+
+      const consonantCluster = str.match(/^[^aeiou]+/)[0];
+      return str.substring(consonantCluster.length) + consonantCluster + "ay";
+    }
+    
+    // test here
+    translatePigLatin("consonant");
+
+### Code Explanation:
+
+*   First, check to see if the string begins with a vowel.
+    * The regex looks at the beginning of the string `^` for one of the specified characters `[aeiou]` 
+    * If it does, you only need to return the original string with "way" appended on the end.
+*   If the string does not start with a vowel, we want to build a string which contains every consonant before the first vowel in the provided string.
+    * To do this, look at the beginning of a string `^` for one or more characters `+` NOT specified `[^aeiou]`.
+    * If there is a match (and in this case, there always will be), `match()` returns an Array with the matched string as the first element, which is all we want. Grab it with `[0]`.
+*   Now, we can start building our Pig Latin string to return. This can be built in three parts:
+    * The first part contains all of the characters in the original string, starting from the first vowel. We can easily get these characters by creating a substring of the original string, with its starting index being the first vowel.
+    * The second part contains the consonant string we just built. (If you add the second and first parts of this string together, you will get the original string.)
+    * The final part contains "ay".
