To expand the answer a bit more: The verb fényképez ends on a 'z'. Normally, to form the 2nd-person singular conjugation, you'd add -sz, but "fényképezsz" would be difficult to pronounce. So, whenever a verb stem ends on a sibilant (the letters c, cs, dz, dzs, s, sz, z, and zs in Hungarian), the te conjugation defaults to the suffix -ol/-el/-öl instead of -sz.
- olvas - te olvasol (you read)
- hisz - te hiszel (you believe)
- főz - te főzöl (you cook)

Yes - you learn by being presented by words in sentences. If you do not know them you can hover. If this was a Type in Hungarian exercise - type what you hear. Hungarian is pretty much spelt as it sounds. If you get it wrong - no foul. If the word is new - add it into your notes.
