I would do it like this:


films = [["one", "vol1"], ["one", "vol2"], ["three", "vol3"]]

films.each do |arr|
  puts arr.join(' : ')
end

--output:--
one : vol1
one : vol2
three : vol3


And if you want to save the strings in a new_array--rather than print 
them--you can use map():

films = [["one", "vol1"], ["one", "vol2"], ["three", "vol3"]]

results = films.map do |arr|
  arr.join(' : ')
end

p results

--output:--
["one : vol1", "one : vol2", "three : vol3"]


Array#join() and String#split() should be in every beginner's arsenal. 
As for map(), it sends each element of the array to the block, and then 
shoves the return value of the block into a new array.  Here is a 
simpler example:

films = [["one", "vol1"], ["one", "vol2"], ["three", "vol3"]]

results = films.map do |arr|
  "hello"
end

p results

--output:--
["hello", "hello", "hello"]

For each element of the array, the block returns one value, which is 
stored in a new array.
