English to Spanish help! Is this translation good?
Okay, I’m doing a Spanish project where I need to describe my room. This is what I’m aiming for – This is my bedroom. My bed is in the middle of the room. It is blue. My closet is on the wall, near the bed. The doors of the closet are white. My dresser is in the corner, across from the bed. It is white also. My lamp is on my nightstand. It is blue. My television is a flat screen, mounted on the wall. It is in front of my bed.
Here’s in Espanol – Este es mi dormitorio. Mi cama está en el centro de la sala. Es azul. Mi armario está en la pared, cerca de la cama. Las puertas del armario son de color blanco. Mi vestidor está en la esquina, al otro lado de la cama. Es de color blanco también. Mi lámpara de luz en mi. Es azul. Mi televisión es una pantalla plana, montada en la pared. Es en frente de mi cama.
How is my translation? Could you help me fix this?
P.S. Best Answer to the first HELPFUL answers, stupid answers will be marked as spam.
Este es mi dormitorio. Mi cama está en el centro deL CUARTO (or DE LA HABITACIóN). Es DE COLOR azul. Mi armario está en la pared, cerca de la cama. Las puertas del armario son de color blanco. Mi CóMODA (or MI TOCADOR) está en la esquina, al otro lado de la cama. Es de color blanco también. Mi lámpara ESTA SOBRE mi MESA DE NOCHE. Es azul. Mi televisOR es DE pantalla plana, montadO en la pared. EsTA en frente de mi cama.
EDIT:
That was a good translation. Just some observations:
Because “sala” is more used to name the living room, it is better to use another word when you talk about other rooms of your house (”habitación” and “cuarto” are better).
the “dresser” as a piece of furniture is called in Spanish “tocador” or “cómoda”. “Vestidor” is a room where you get dressed.
I preffer to use “televisor” and not “televisión” for the electrical appliance. But, many people use both as synonims. Just remember that “televisor” is masculin, but “televisión” is feminine.

In today’s rocky economic climate, most households are cutting back wherever they can. And with cable and satellite television costing anywhere from $65-$150 a month (more if you count premium movie channels) many people are making their television sets the first part of their homes to get the ax. But what if there was a way to enjoy thousands of television channels, including hard to find international shows and sports programming, and never pay another monthly cable bill again?
