I love melody and so I work on this often. And of coarse I'm not that good at it. I really have trouble with being a semi tone off in places. I don't hear the difference until I do it correctly.

One thing you might do starting out is to pick a key and deal with it for awhile. Learn it inside and out. Learn the scales to it. The major and minor pentatonic plus the major scale. Your ear will start to identify sounds and intervals. If a note sounds higher move higher up the scale etc.
