I am multilingual, with native fluency in 2-3 languages, and conversational ability (varying levels) in a few other languages.
The common mistake in how we learn a foreign language is that we often try to learn grammar and writing at the same time as conversation. That isn't how we learn our first language as a child.
Taking the example of how we learn our first language, we first learn words and phrases (entirely conversational/spoken), all before we learn reading, writing, or grammar in school.
That is the key I've found (as I believe was discovered by Dr. Paul Pimsleur), that if you learn spoken (conversation) first -- before you learn reading/writing/grammar -- it allows you to learn the language much better, and allows you to get to that next step, of reading/writing/grammar.
That's largely why the Pimsleur Method has been adopted by much of government and the corporate world.
Search: Pimsleur Method for information, and materials that support this strategy.
I hope this helps.
P.S. Which language did you have in mind?
