I am not very familiar with using both the semicolon and the em dash very frequently, so could somebody help explain their functions, how they work, what differences they have between them and how to fluently use them in sentences? I want to improve my english by using them.

Semicolons are used to partially break up a sentence; they’re like a period in that the next line is a new sentence, but a comma in that the next line is related.
Em-Dashes can be thought of as an in-line superscript – that is, an additional bit of context or information – that can be injected into the middle of a sentence.
