Shanan translated as "learn" or "teach" is שנן (Sh.N.N, Strong's #8150). This word literally means "to make pointed," or "to sharpen" such as a knife or sword.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt *teach them diligently* [The verb Sh.N.N] unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Lamad

The verb למד (L.M.D, Strong's #3925) means "to direct" or "to learn by showing the direction"

Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn [the verb L.M.D] to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach [the verb L.M.D] them to their children." (Deuteronomy 4:10)
