Let's review! ¡Repasemos!
Of course, I've always heard ¡Vamos! to mean "Let's go!" even though we all know it means "we go" in the 3rd Person Plural of the Present Indicative.
Now as I'm listening to the lessons, I've heard Paralee say:
¡Continuamos! for "Let's continue!"
-and-
¡Repasemos! for "Let's review!"
Can you take any verb in it's 3rd Person Plural form of the Present Indicative and make it a "Let's _____!"?
Por ejemplo:
¡Comemos! ¡Bebemos! ¡Corremos!

"¡Continuamos!" is "We continue!", in indicative. It is just an informative statement on what's going on.
"¡Repasemos!" is "Let's continue", in subjunctive. This one is encouraging others to join in.
¡Comemos! ¡Bebemos! ¡Corremos!
These are indicative, so you are telling people that we are eating/drinking/running. If you want to compel others to do that, you must use subjunctive.
Hi tosh, no you can't.
the imperative needs to be in subjunctive.
Comamos, bebamos...
The fact that this website's learning section itself is using indicative where it should be usingvsubjunctive isn't much help, so I give Tosh a pass.
Is there an e-mail addy through which we can alert the webmaster of those errors?
Apparently, I still have a lot to learn about the subjunctive.
Correction... I have everything to learn about the subjunctive!
Did I spell "Let's review" wrong, too? Should it be "repacemos"?
