You can use these words to express contrast between two ideas. Similar to the use of "Despite" and "In spite of", the only difference is the way of connecting ideas. There is also a third expression with "Even though", let's look at their differences:

Although = Although

Even though = Aunque

"Although" and "Even though" have the same meaning.
- "Even though" is stronger and more polite.
- Both are conjunctions.
- You can use them at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence.
"Though" is slightly different.
- It can be used as an adverb.
- It is most often used in speaking.
- You can use it at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence.

We use “though” “even though” and “although” to introduce contrasting ideas.
— Even though is slightly stronger than although. More polite and more formal.
— Even though and although are conjunctions (to connect ideas).
— Though is an adverb too (can transform the meaning of all the sentence).
— Though is used more frequently in spoken English.

“Though” is definitely the most versatile. It can be placed at the beginning, middle or even at the end of the sentence.
“Although” and “even though” can only be placed at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence.

Gabriel Obregón

SUMMARY:

ALTHOUGH and THOUGH:
The use of these words is very similar to DESPITE or SPITE OF (they contrast ideas that go in different directions).
The only difference is the way in which we connect.
EVEN THOUGH and ALTHOUGH:
They are exactly the same. They are conjunctions.
They only can be at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence.
For instances:
EVEN THOUGH is slightly stronger because it’s a little bit more formal.
THOUGH:
This word can be a conjunction, but an adverb too.
In this way, this word can transform the meaning of the entire sentence. Something that we cannot do with ALTHOUGH and THOUGH.
But be careful. We can use THOUGH for many things but at the same time its use is trickier.
THOUGH is used more frequently in spoken English. This one is a little less informal than the other two.
The other two are very common when you’re writing an email or a presentation or something like that.
THOUGH can be anywhere in the sentence.
