Nosotros commands: hablemos, comamos — 'let's...'
'Let's' commands use the nosotros present subjunctive: hablemos, comamos, salgamos. Exception: vamos (not vayamos) for 'let's go'. Reflexives drop the -s: sentémonos, vámonos.

Explanation
To propose a joint action, use the nosotros subjunctive: hablemos de otra cosa, empecemos. In speech, vamos a + infinitive is an equally common alternative (vamos a comer = 'let's eat').
Ir is the exception: affirmative 'let's go' is vamos, but negative reverts to the subjunctive: no vayamos.
With the reflexive pronoun nos, the final -s drops before attaching: sentemos + nos → sentémonos; vamos + nos → vámonos. The written accent preserves the original stress.
