I'm not an expert, and it's been years since I took music theory lessons, but I believe the difference between a time signature like 3/4 time and 6/8 time is mainly what beat is accented. Therefore, with 3/4 time, it would be counted ONE, two, three, ONE, two three... whereas 6/8 time I think is only really be heavily accented on one of ever six beats. However, I'm pretty sure it's basically the same as 3/4, in that two notes are accented (therefore, ONE and FOUR) just FOUR would be more accented: therefore ONE, two, three FOUR, five six.
Hopefully this makes sense and is accurate...
