Intervals aren't really all that hard.
To find the size of interval, count the note names from the lower to the higher note, including both ends.
Example: C to F: CDEF, so it's a fourth.
Now, taking the lower note for the key, if the higher note is in the same key then it is a perfect interval (fourths, fifths, octaves) or a major interval (everything else, i.e. seconds, thirds, sixths and sevenths). If it is a semitone higher, it is augmented. If it is a semitone lower, it is minor (for the major intervals) or diminished (for the perfect intervals).
These descriptions have different meanings when it comes to chords. Take your standard 1st-3rd-5th chord, say C-E-G. It is a major chord if the intervals from the lowest note are a major 3rd and a perfect 5th; a minor chord if the E is flattened; a diminished chord if both the E and G are flattened; and an augmented chord if the G is sharpened (pretty ugly).
The rest of music theory is a fairly large subject to get into. If you can be more specific it might be easier...

Generally speakme, the minor sixth. My two favorite durations are the minor sixth among C# and A, and the foremost sixth among E and C#, chiefly whilst the lowers word of every period are the C# simply above center C and the E a third above center C respectively.
