That is difficult to answer, even for an English speaker. But I will try!
They are both very similar, but you wouldn't use them the same way.
Evade = To actively and cleverly escape from someone or a situation, usually when in danger.
Avoid = To try to refrain from (a person, situation, consequence, etc)
As you see, they are very similar, But they are in fact different.
