When you're serious about learning Dutch, you could listen to the material linked to on this page for 15 or 20 minutes every day. Look closely at the Dutch text and study the English translation.
Between the square brackets [ ] on my website you'll find a more literal translation (often not correct English) to better understand the Dutch and make it easier to reproduce, for instance:
We mochten geen foto's maken 2 [We were allowed to make no pictures] - We were not allowed to [make] take pictures
