Crochet Stitches: Canadian vs Australian

Since I re-learned crochet mostly by myself and was only searching for free patterns to follow at first, I wasn't really aware that there's different ways of writing a crochet pattern - - that it can be written in English Canadian to Australian and of course the diagrams. 

That's why most of the time I end up feeling a little frustrated because no matter how correctly I think I was able to follow a pattern, it ends up otherwise.  


So I further researched on learning how to effectively read crochet patterns and here's what I found out...

Conversion of the US to Aussie Crochet Stitches:
