Shopping and Bargaining

About this lesson

A market conversation brings several everyday language skills together. This lesson focuses on shopping in Mizo, asking about prices and bargaining politely. You will explore the vocabulary of shopping and money alongside conversational phrases, helping you connect a price question to the exchange around it. The emphasis is on practical, courteous communication: understanding the subject of a purchase and expressing yourself simply, rather than learning a script that claims to cover every situation in a market.

This Intermediate lesson is intended for learners who have some basic vocabulary and are ready for a more purposeful conversation. It is particularly relevant if you are preparing to visit Mizoram or want to understand shopping-related exchanges. Revisiting the numbers lesson beforehand can help you bring counting vocabulary into this topic. Allow around 22 minutes for your first session, and take extra time for review if needed. The complete lesson links shopping, money and conversation while keeping polite bargaining central to the learning goal.
