Reading fiction will help you acquire the nuances and the subtleties of that language. The more you read it, the more you immerse yourself in the language and the more you will get to know it. Language is always based in a culture, and the more you read about the culture from which that language springs, the more you will know about the language itself. For example, reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will tell you quite a bit about the culture of American in the Reconstruction period of US history. You can see the attitudes and the values of their society. The more you know about them, the better you will understand them. You will also learn about how the real language is spoken, not merely the textbook language.
