At the moment, Taiwanese use the traditional characters because of the historical reason. It had to ascend to the beginning of the 19Th century when the PRC have not set up .Some enlighented clerisies propaganded the new culture and in order to make more people understand those artical, they appealed to simplify those words and made them easy to be read and written.This proposal was adopted and was carryied out for many years until now. But with the changes of situation, Mr.Jiang took his troops went to Taiwan island and they kept on the traditional characters while in mainland the simplify movement went on. That's why Taiwan and mainland use different chanracters. Although Taiwan and mainland use different characters, all chinese people can read between the two characters.Maybe it is difficult for mainland citizens to write in the traditional way ,but many of them can read fluently. in the 17Th people's congress, some one proposes that we should change the simplified character to traditinal one in the following 10 years with the purpose of protecting the traditional character as an immaterial heritage. Whether we will adopt this proposal or not, i think, it would not make obstacles in the communicatin betwwen both sides.

Generally speaking,"讲" and "说" share the same meaning,but still have a little difference: "讲" usually used in oral chinese,and sometimes it means speak by one person without others' opinion on the topic he talked about.For example,"演讲" means one express his opinion on public with many audient,but these audient usually just listen instead of arguing. "说" different from "讲", it always used in written chinese and refers to many people,they are discussing and expressing their different opinions or one express his opinion with others agree with that. "饭店"means restaurant,its main function is to offer the customers food.Ususlly,it do not offer their lodge "宾馆" is different from "饭店",its main function is to offer customer lodge, and offer them breakfast if customer required. "酒店" , its main function is entertainment.It usually offer lunch and supper for some purpose, for example "wedding" "旅馆" is same with "宾馆" in some degree, but it only offer lodge and it is inferior than "宾馆" Above are my understanding for your question,hope it can help you!!

you must know the English word "sea" , it should be pronounced as [si:]. If you want to pronounce 四 with a standard pronounciation, you can try to say "sea" but remember to omit the later part of [si:] ,it means just [s]. The most important point is read [s] with the forth tone. Try it and hope it can help you!1
