Here there are three 3/8 time signature exercises. Pay attention to slurs, staccato and accent in the first exercise.

First study the scores and practise hand movements to represent the corresponding time signature. Then name the notes aloud while keeping the beat with your hand. It doesn't matter if you start slowly, the idea is to incresase speed with practice. You will find the rhythmic pattern to work with next to the sound file.
