Ways to tell them apart:
Teach
is used when providing knowledge to others, while
learn
is used when gaining knowledge from someone or something.
Remember: a teacher
teaches
the information, and a student
learns
it.

teach
others what you know.

When you help others understand something, you are teaching. When you understand something new, you are learning.
