How did you learn to read bead patterns?

I love anything arts and crafts and that includes beading. Specifally I wanted to learn how to read the bead patterns for seed bead patterns. I've made a small 3d hummingbird but with a yt video. There's a 3d snake dragon I would love to learn to make, she has yt videos too but doesn't explain too well and the video is blurry at times so it's difficult to follow as a beginner. But she has a printable pattern was available for free but I'm very confused by it so I would like to know, if you do beading do you know how to read the patterns and if so how did you learn? Thank you very much!

There are several books here on beading techniques. Have you checked those?
