Testing out BDT (The Bidirectional Translation Method) from Luca Lampariello (#Ep02 Part 1)

Hi guys!

Here is the second step of the bidirectional translation method. I picked the text I wrote two days ago with your corrections. I had done a translation in English from a text in Swedish. Now, I am going to translate that English text into a Swedish version with my own words, by trying to remember all I can without looking at the original text.

My English translation :

We've spent the night in this hostel. It's 8.30 am now. We have packed our stuff. Now, we are going to go to the playground so that the chidren can play a little before we go. But I'll show you around our room. This is an aparthotel, so it's a small apartment that we can sleep in. When we enter into it, we see a bathroom on the left. On the right, it's like this balcony. Here it's hot. A window that we can open and look out. I close the window. I close the door also. We have two rooms. There is a third room but it's locked and here we can hang clothes. In the other bedroom, there is a double bed and a classic simple bed. Here is our car. The parking is exactly at the house. In this hostel, there even is a restaurant under the apartment, on the first floor. We can eat there at lunch and during the breakfast if we want.

My Swedish translation : ([] are blanks because I forgot how to translate the word)
