Well, I used TWO things there, so it's really two lessons, although they're both fairly small.

〜てみる (~te miru)
If you add "miru" to a verb in -te form, it changes the meaning to "try to X". So for example, たべてみる ("tabete miru") means "to try to eat" or "to try eating". It's a normal -ru verb at this point, so it conjugates as you would expect -- たべてみた ("tabete mita") means "I tried to eat" and たべてみてください ("tabete mite kudasai") means "please try to eat".

〜おう (~ou)
The -ou conjugation is called "volitional". It's usually translated as "let's X" or "shall we X?"

For -ru verbs, you drop the -ru and add -you. (miru -> mi + you -> miyou, shall we look?)
For -u verbs, you replace the -u with -o and then add a u at the end. (nomu -> nom + ou -> nomou, shall we drink?)
