Hi friend,
It's ! an a oxyacid ! The hydrogen ( which make something acidic ) is attached to oxigen in CH3OH , while the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen in CH3NH2 ....This is why Ch3NH2 is a stronger base than CH3OH....i hope it helps you

The electronegativity of Oxygen is more than that of Nitrogen. Electronegativity means tendency to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself. As Oxygen is more electronegative means it will not give its electrons easily while nitrogen is less electronegative means it can give its electron easily. Higher is the tendency to give electron stronger is the base. CH3NH2 is stronger base than CH3OH.
