Since recipes are almost always written for 4+ people...and I'm only 1 person (occassionally cooking for 2), I often I find myself yelling to T.Co (my roommate) about various conversions. That or I run to my room to look them up....and that almost always ends disastrously (water boiling over, burned cookies, etc).
Here are a few things to help you out. At least until you get comfortable just throwing in what "looks" to be the right amount...
dash ~ 1/8 teaspoon
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoons
16 tablespoons = 1 cup
4 cups = 1 quart ~ 1 liter
4 quarts = 1 gallon
1 oz (liquid) = 2 tablespoons
1 oz (dry) = 28 g
16 oz (dry) = 1 lb
1 lb = 2.2 kg

But you have to watch out for the most dangerous conversion of all, "to taste" especially when using spicy ingredients. You can get burned by that one. Pun absolutely intended.
