How did you add furigana?
like this: (漢字)
<ruby>漢字<rt>ふりがな</rt></ruby>
Or you can split it up per character: (漢字)
<ruby>漢<rt>ふり</rt>字<rt>がな</rt></ruby>

私は安いケーキを食べた。よくなかった。
Translation!
I ate some cheap cake. It wasn’t good.
I wanted to use よくなかった. I had to look up the past plain tense of 食べる. Hopefully going to tackle godan and ichidan verb conjugations today and tomorrow. If anyone has any tips for understanding them, please share 
Hi there!
Given your English translation, I would rephrase the first sentence as:
私はレストランで食べたが、後で食べるためにもっと食事を注文しました。
I think this is a more natural way to express that thought. Also, you wrote 食べります, and since the verb 食べる is an Ichidan Verb, the 「り 」is not necessary.
The second sentence has an extra sentence nominaliser (こと and の) but we only need one. In this case, we use の when using 上手 or 下手, so it ends up being:
私は日本語を話すのが上手になりたいから、今日も勉強しなきゃ。
I added も after 今日 in order to make it sound more natural.
As for sentence number 3, you missed the small っ in the verb 入る, which is a Godan verb. Since the person above this post is asking, I’ll put a link of a thread I made about Japanese Conjugations in the reply to that post. I think you should check it out too 
.
Anyway, here’s the corrected 3rd sentence:
この場所に入ってはいけません。
HTH!

Here’s a thread I made, with videos that explain Japanese verb conjugations. Personally, I think this is the best way to learn them (rather than the way it’s taught in books such as Genki I, which I think is confusing). It’ll make more sense once you watch the videos posted there. Here’s the link:
Once you learn the conjugation rules, if you want to practice them, there’s this website, as well as an app (if you prefer) that can be used for that purpose:

You have to rephrase your ideas so that they sound natural in the other language. For example, in Japanese it is common to give the reason first before stating the action taken.
Also, in this case, you want to use the verb 学ぶ = “To Learn” since the verb 知る means “To Know”. So you end up with the following sentence:
新しい言葉を学ぶためにこのスレッドを読む。
HTH!

I see, thank you so much! Why does ために sound more natural than だから here? Does it convey more of an intentional causation, like I’m choosing to take Action A to cause Action B?

ために is often translated as “in order to,” so it seems to match your intended meaning better. So:
新しい言葉を学ぶためにこのスレッドを読む。
Might be translated something like:
“I read this thread in order to learn new words.”
だから has a meaning more like “because,” which is similar but sounds a little different from what I think you’re trying to convey. So:
このスレッドを読む。だから、新しい言葉を学ぶ。
Might be translated something like:
“I read this thread. Because of that, I learn new words.”
You can also instead write it as:
このスレッドを読むから、新しい言葉を学ぶ。
To get something more like:
“Because I read this thread, I learn new words.”
So I guess you’re right, there’s more intention to ために than だから. I’ve never thought of it that way before, but it’s a good way to distinguish them quickly.
Hope that makes sense and was maybe a little helpful.

私は毛糸を買いたいけど、配送費が高すぎる。配今のバーゲンセールの割引は配送費に比べて小さい。配送費が無量セールに待ちなきゃいけない。
Translation | 翻訳
I want to buy yarn, but the shipping fee is too expensive. The current sale isn’t enough to make up for the shipping costs. I have to wait for a ‘free shipping’ sale.
It’s not an exact translation, since I wrote the Japanese first, and then tried to reiterate my feelings in English. Corrections/suggestions are welcome.

私は昨晩夢を見た。夢の中で、 夜空は紫だった。思えば、 全ても紫だった。迚も紫の夢だった。

I had a dream last night. In my dream, the night sky was purple. Come to think of it, everything was purple. It was a very purple dream.
I really wanted to use 思えば. Originally, I wanted to say “Come to think of it, it could have been because I played Skyrim. Skyrim’s night sky is very purple.” The idea was way too complex for me to express though…
Please correct and improve upon my Japanese ♪(^∇^*)
