As an exercise, I would transcribe dialog from favorite movie scenes. Once you have done several, you will realize the difference between excellent dialog writing verses great acting portrayals of simply Ok dialog.
However, no matter how good the dialog, the mastering of when to use qualifiers or tags is another consideration. You know, the 'he said', 'she retorted' parts. To learn about those you must delve into you favorite novels or authors and observe their handling of such.
Good luck
