こんにちわ、みなさん。
I have a question here. 教えてください。
In Rocket Japanese Lesson 2.4 Catching a Ride:
あっ、 タクシー が き ました。 あい のり します か？
Ai nori (あい のり) means to ride (the taxi) together.
So what if I say "Ishou ni nori" (いしょう に のり）？
As far as I know, ishou also means together. Can "ishou" can be used as a substitute?
ありがとうございます（in advance）
Ai or Ishou ni ?

You are correct. You could substitute the questions:
あい のり します か？(Ai nori shimasu ka?)
With another question like:
Issho ni norimasen ka?
This translates as "Shall we ride together?"
However, just note that the word あい のり (ai nori) is specific to a "car/taxi ride" - and you can probably think of it as equivalent to "carpool" - where as "Issho ni norimasen ka?" can be a question refering to any kind of vehicle or thing that you ride on. You could be referring to a plane ride.
Hope that helps!
