Hi,
1. したがって我々は、漢字の使用に関しては、常識と柔軟 性を第一として、数には捉われないようにした。
My translation: "Consequently, where kanji usage is concerned, we put common sense and flexibility first, and do not become preoccupied (捉われない) with (counting) the number (of kanji used)."
I'm not super-confident about this translation, especially the last part. Does it look right?
2. 会話はCDで聞かせ、クラスでも練習させる。
My translation: "Have (the class) listen to the conversation on CD, then have the class practise it."
What does でも mean here? Is it one "word", or is it more like で (roughly "in (class)") + も ("also")?
