It would be more natural to say:
可以讲价吗？Kěyǐ jiǎngjià ma？
As far as pronunciation is concerned, there is at times slight variations due to accents. For a very standard sampling of the correct pronuncations, you can check out our pronunciation section and also download our pinyin chart.

叫 (jiào) can also mean 'to be called', as in your example, 我叫恩惠 (Wǒ jiào Enhuì).
