Hi! Can anyone give me a hint how to strum the accoustic guitar in the beat 2/4 and 6/8 in pleasant ways?

It all will come down to the feel of the song. It's a pretty broad question but I reckon if you're just starting out you should keep it simple. For example in the 6/8 strumming you can start by counting out the 8th notes (1-2-3-4-5-6), then you can just assign down and up strokes to the different 8th notes. So 1-2-3-4-5-6 would end up being d-u-d-u-d-u.
You can apply the same method to the 2/4 where you play the 2 quarter notes in each bar.

Is this somewhat close to what you meant?
