It's a word, of course. The infinitive is もどる(戻る = to return). もどろう is its volitional form.

勉強にもどろう, therefore, means "Let's get back to our studies."

And just to sure, at 5:51 he says "小学校からの友だちって言ってたねえ。" right? Thank you so much for the corrections, and sorry for all the questions, believe me I'm trying to ask you as little as possible. Sorry to be a bother.
Right. "~~ was saying" instead of "~~ said". 言ってた is the colloquial form of 言っていた. "A syllable-saver" is the term I've been using on JF the last few weeks.

It's no bother. I'm here for that very purpose.
