Also, making associations of intervals with certain songs where they appear can be helpful, a (slightly lame  ) example would be the bass solo-ish riff in 'I Burn For You' by The Police, first two notes of which are a perfect fourth apart. Or (even lamer) 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' has a perfect fifth at its start.

In addition, this will improve your improv by leaps and bounds.

They can all be used for what you are asking, and more. They cost money, but you can get them for free if you know where to look (not that I'm suggesting theft....  ).

Everything beyond that is extrapolation. I think you might be getting pushed into something too difficult too fast (IIRC it's not been a terribly long time since you started ear training lessons).
You could take Gawd's advice and get a hold of a notation software that'll give you an idea of, basically, what notes/melodies sound like.
