Hi, Even though is stronger, more emphatic compared to "although" I try to give you a tip my teacher told me once. This one is applicable most of the time, but not always: You use even though , when the given condition is negativ, but the outcome is positiv. For instance: Even though my brother hadn't studied, he passed the exam without a single mistake.
