1 2 3.

In a time signature, the top number is beats in a measure, the bottom note is what kind of note gets one beat. So, in 3-2 time, a half note would get one beat.

It is twice as fast as 6-4 and it is just like one-two-three

Right. In 3/2 time the half note gets the beat and there are three beats to the measure. So, then, when subdividing, the "and" of each beat will be the quarter note.
