1) Differences between "Say" and "Tell"

Use "say" to speak in general about something that has been said by someone.

"Say" is often used to report what someone else has said. 

Example: John said  (what?) he had a good time in Las Vegas.

                  The teacher often says (what?) we need to study more.

Important note:   "Say" refers to any type of speech and is therefore more general in nature. 

Use "tell" to mean that someone has instructed or informed someone else of something. "Tell" is often used to report what someone else has told a specific person. 

Example:    Angela told (whom?) them to hurry up.

                 Our friends told (whom?) us about their experiences in Germany.

2) Differences between "Speak" and "Talk" 

There is little difference between "speak" and "talk" and they are often used interchangeably (взаимозаменяемо) .

"Speak" is often used when someone is speaking to a group of people in general."Speak" is also used with languages.

Example:  Peter speaks both German and Italian.

                   She spoke about her problems at work.
