6/8 time is a compound time signature. This means that the main beat is divided into three equal parts, like a triplet. Baically, each measure is composed of two triplets. If you're still confused, think of it this way: every eighth note gets one count. So, you can count it just like 4/4, except count up to six. For example, you would count a measure in 4/4 like this: 1&2&3&4&. In 6/8, you would count it like this: 1&2&3&4&5&6&. The important thing to remember is that the eighth notes get one full beat. I hope this helps. Good luck! =)
