The fastest learner of a language is the preschool native speaker. That is because he is in a complete liguistic environment and learning his language during his critical age. The native way of learning a language has been proved already the best. However, it's not a new but the oldest way. Little kid learns his language very fast without teacher and syllabus and said to be a native speaker even before going to school for literacy. However, being a native speaker may not be enough and you want further improvement. If the language you are mentioning is your first language, and you are already a native speaker, I suggest that you study grammar and writing as accedemic subjects. This will surely help improve your language but probably not your small talk. If it is your second language, I suggest that you acquire "core grammar" or the basic grammar of the sentence to initiate a natural language acquisition process. My second suggestion for both kinds of speaker is that they expand their vocabulary. The vocabulary in my sense is not all single words I know but all "meanings" I can say them in the target language, in English for example, or those I can understand when somebody says them. Let me call them "meanign units." You may consider "the United State of America" as a whole a member of your vocabulary, a noun phrase that has little to do with all individual words making the phrase. For someone, this phase may be considered a member of their new vocabulary, the name of a country they just have learned. But do you consider "the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" a member of your vocabulary too? It has a specific meaning and structure on the sentense. The whole combination represents the only girl and working structurally as a noun. The working meaning units like these represent ideas rather than simple meanings that the single words may do. If you collect the meaning units of this kind, you will have a bigger and bigger store of ideas, and not only words. My third suggestion is that you learn other fields of knowledge in your target language and not about the language alone. You can't say about anything well not having its information and ideas. Sorry, there is no new way to improve your language. Are these old ideas telling you something?

read, read, read, read, read
or watch a movie with subtitles (this only works if the movie is in a language that you don't understand)
