So here we go again with mental counting something which is very easy and straight forward.
I live in Huelva, I play Fandangos de Huelva with singers from Huelva and I learned to play FdH in Huelva
I made a post on how I learned to fandangos 2 years ago. Its here:

My way is not the right way. I dont believe in right ways. But it was pretty simple to learn. Here (In Huelva) they count 1 2 3 with accent on one. A whole cycle has four times 1 2 3. Sometimes someone explains the right hand in 6, because there´s a rythmical variation in the first and second 1 2 3 cycle.

As with most music and especially in etnical music like flamenco, you´ll learn things a lot faster by simple listening. Letting the music come into your head and body and conserve it there. Doing a lot of mental excercises complicates life a lot and normally slow down the learning process with 10x or more factor.
