> 1. I can understand the English exclamations, but Egads! I don't understand any of the French. Can anyone translate some of them?: "Vraiment", "Voyons", "'Tiens", "Eh, Bien".

Vraiment: Really
Voyons: Let's see
Tiens: Here (literally hold)
Eh, bien: Good, but in oral french it can mean oh well, or so? Like if someone went to find something, eh, bien when they came back would inquire about their success.

1 out of 3 ain't bad, right?
