To teach= to give instruction
Teach is normally used with an object and the infinitive.

To learn= to gain knowledge
Learn can be followed directly by the infinitive.
Example
I’m learning to play the piano.
-Damage, injure and hurt
When you damage something, you harm or spoil it.

If you injure someone, an animal, or a part of the body, you cut the skin; break a bone, cause bruising, etc.
Example
I injured my right arm when I fell off my bike.
If you hurt someone, an animal, or a part of the body, you cause a feeling of pain.
