Language/English/Grammar/Although-VS-Even-though

What is the difference between "Although" and "Even though"?

The two expressions carry (roughly) the same meaning.

There is a nuance of difference between "Although" and "Even though" expressions in certain, but very few, instances...

Allow me to illustrate with an example:

Example 1: Same meaning

• a) Although she did not want to, Sarah went to the dance.

• b) Even though she did not want to, Sarah went to the dance.

Example 2: Slightly different meaning(s)

• a) Although it was a cool day, I went swimming.

• b) I went swiming even though it was a cool day.
