During a discussion with some of my collegues concerning the difference between "although" and "even though" we all agreed that they mean the same and that they are interchangeable meaning in spite of the fact that but when I check I saw that there was a slight difference though Wink hehehe (I love playing with words lol students like it so I became "samta" Razz ).
Anyways, here is what I found and I wanted you to read it :

At the beginning of a clause, "although", "even though", and "though" all mean "in spite of the fact that".

Although I was tired, I got up and went to work.
Even though I was tired, I got up and went to work.
Though I was tired, I got up and went to work.

"though" by itself at the end of a clause means the same as "however" or "nevertheless" at the beginning of the same clause:

He's a terrible dancer. He sings well, though. =
He's a terrible dancer. [Nevertheless / However] he sings well.

"though", but not "although" or "even though", can be used in inversion with an adjective:

Tired though I was, I got up and went to work.

And careful: "though" means "if" in the grouping "as though".

He looked as though he had seen a ghost. = He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
