Ok, two things here. One is the knowledge you have about words and how they are correctly used. Another is how to express yourself using proper pronunciation, tone, and such. I will talk about each one at a time.

As far as building up your vocabulary, what I know has worked best for me is seeing words used in proper context and then using them myself in a full sentence. Here is how you accomplish this:

1. Briefly look at a word list, paying attention to the definition of that word. Try to get an idea about what the word means, but at this point you don't have to know it perfectly.
2. Next, look at the word used in a sentence. If you don't see one, ask your teacher or your parent to write the word in a sentence so that it helps you understand what it means. Read the sentence both aloud- to get an idea about how to pronounce the word- and silently to yourself, paying attention to the context. The context is how the word is used; it helps you understand the word's meaning.
3. Finally, use the word in a sentence of your own. Ask your parent or teacher to see if you have used the word correctly.

All of these steps take a lot of practice. You will memorize, forget, and re-memorize words an entire lifetime, believe me. The reason is because many of the harder words people simply don't use all that often. Even your teacher will forget and have to remember again.

People mostly remember things that have meaning to them. They can't remember a random number, like 162939, but they might remember 1-21-1990 if that is their birthdate. In the same way, people remember words if they understand their meanings in a certain context. They are not likely to remember the definitions as they are given in a textbook. So memorize how the words are used, and use them in a sentence as well, so that you learn the meaning and context.

Now you also asked about speaking ability. You can always start out by repeating the specific words to get the right pronunciation. If you want to use the words in a speech, it is very important to use the words properly. Otherwise it will seem that you might be trying too hard to use"big" words but in the wrong way. Luckily, most speeches do not involve very hard words, because audiences like normal everyday language. The only time you will need to use very difficult words during a speech is when you talk to an audience of professionals, like doctors, lawyers, scientists.

Sleep. Do an exercise with someone who can quiz you. When you have reached your mental tolerance and your head hurts slightly, don't push it, sleep and return to the exercise.
