| | clases de dictado | Explanation:
I think "light' means "short", as in this definition from Webster's 3rd
2 a : of slight extent or little importance : TRIVIAL *shows the lightest incidence and intensity of infection— J.H.Fischthal* *attests in what light esteem we held the tank— S.L.A.Marshall* b : not abundant : INCONSIDERABLE *a light rain* *the early voting was light* *trading on the commodity exchange was light* *has relatively light traffic and few billboards— American Guide Series: Maryland* *a light breakfast*
I think I would just say "tomar dictados (breves)", but for your context, I think "clases de dictado" seems appropriate |
