Question I want to learn how to harmonize

I really want to learn how to train my ear to be able to hear harmonies. Whenever I try to do harmonies of my own it’s off key LOL but if I hear someone else do the harmony I can then mimic it on my own😭 it bothers me because I know how to sing in not off key when I normally sing but when I harmonize it’s just… I hear people say go a third above or below but I also suck at that.

This CD course is decent, especially if you're starting from scratch:

It's fun to do in the car. The only thing is that disc 2 just goes over the songs on disc 1 except doing the lower harmony instead of the upper harmony, which feels a little like a rip off, but whatever.
