He may never talk, not all birds will, even if they can, some still don't. All you can do is carry on talking to him, repeat words over and over again, it can take a lot of time and patience before they do.
My African Grey was an early talker and is picking up new words quickly, but even some Greys, who are know for been really talkative birds will never say a lot of words.

Get a tape recorder and record yourself saying something like 'Hello' and then play over and over again. You might want to do it outside (He has to be in a cage of course) because it can get irritating when the recorder plays over and over again.

Budgies do not talk if you want a bird that talks try a amazon, african grey, cockato, cockatil or a quaker
