Hitting the ball off a wall makes you do nearly twice the work as you are hitting every ball, not every second ball. Try just backhands only, then just forehands, then Alternate backhand and forehand. Try then, volleying consecutively off the wall. Try alternating forehand-backhand volleys. Then try serving against a line on the wall 3 feet above ground, AND returning those serves. Now, despite all this hard work, you will notice the difference in playing these shots when an opponent plays them to you over a net, or responds to your shots; plus there is court technique to learn and winning strategies to learn and practice when playing an opponent.
Finally, let me tell you a secret: You will not properly be able to learn anything "really fast", except if you are literally thrown into something 'off the deep end', where you have to 'sink or swim' FAST - the reason is that learning tennis, or anything, for that matter, is like the Journey of life itself - it is a long journey, and a long 'schooling', designed for you to learn the value of balance in your life in order for you to do ANYTHING you do better than otherwise, and like any engagement in life, the better performers are those who have learned the most discipline and usually gained the better more well-developed characters. They learn the value of Both - work and play in life. Each will better lend itself to doing better in the other. Tennis is NOT an end in itself; it is 'the means' to an end: that end?? ... making you a better, stronger, more disciplined person. For that reason, it all takes time and performance consistency - consistency only comes as an outcome of developing HABIT. Habits are developed over time. So you will never become a champion in only months, for instance. It is like life itself - a journey of patience, sacrifice and loyalty.

for accuracy all i have to say is practice, practice, practice. for speed practice also, but slide your hand down your shaft when you shoot or keep it lower on your shaft. like i usually keep my top hand about 1 inch from your bottom hand
