Children learn to talk organically. If he is not speaking at 3 then I would be concerned. It is far past time to take him to a Dr to see what it going on. While it it true that they learn what you teach, talking isn't something that is taught. You do need to begin teaching him to count and letters.

He is only going to learn what you teach him, and if you've tried and he still doesn't speak in sentences/have a large vocabulary than you should see a speech therapist? At 3 he should be able to talk, and understand, but if you don't teach him he won't do these things.

Does your son have an older child (brother/sister/cousin) that speaks for him? Example: son who is not talking wants something, older child understands what child wants and tells you. If so, stop the older child and make the younger child speak up. Is your son in a home where multiple languages are spoken? This can delay when he speaks because he is sorting out the difference between the two. In both of these instances, the child will speak later but will usually speak in full sentences when they do start talking. Talk to your pediatrician about it, they should be able to help or refer you to a specialist. I would not worry about teaching him things at this point. I would try and get him to talk. Ask him questions that require more than a yes or no answer. For example take him to the grocery store and ask him, what he would like you to put in the cart or what he likes to eat etc. Ask him what he sees around him.
