Are photos allowed?

To the next lesson

The next sentence: ¿Se pueden hacer fotos?

You are walking by a lake – the German “See” (se) – and notice slightly military-looking buildings in the background. So you ask a lady with a poodle (“Pudel”) and a big elephant whether photos are allowed here (pueden) – the elephant is big because the E is stressed.

The lady thinks it over. In one hand she holds an ace (“Ass”) from a deck of cards, in the other a napkin, “Serviette” (hacer), and you take photos of them (fotos).
