TRANSCRIPT:
Ahhh, breakfast time. This is Marmite. If you're familiar with British food you'll know that it tastes strange, very, very strange. It's good though.

Hello and welcome to LetThemTalk What I want to show you today is how to use "though", "although" and "even "though" in English. But what I want you to especially pay attention to. Is how to use "though"   at the end of a sentence as it's very common among natives English speakers. 

ok First of all lets look at the differences between "although" and "though". They are both used to show the contrast of an idea. As a conjunction, that is for connecting clauses in a sentence, they are exactly the same. Some say that "although" is more formal but you'll find both forms in written and spoken English. 

You can use "though" or "although" at the beginning of a sentence: for example: 

Though it was cold, we still went swimming

or in the middle of a sentence for example

I decided to go to the party, although I was tired.

I passed the exam, although it was difficult

Even though can also be used to show a greater contrast

They gave him the job even though he was very young. 

"though" (but not "although" or "even though") can also be used as an adverb at the end of a sentence. We do this a lot in conversation and informal writing. 

we won the cup. It wasn't easy though

So remember all you need is a statement, followed by an idea that shows a contrast to that statement then put "though" at the end.

A lot of people like him. He's a complete idiot though. 

to respond to what somebody else said with contrasting statement for example 

This is a terrible film
Yes, I know. I do like it though

Using "though" like this at the end of a sentence like this is extremely common among native English speakers especially in conversation so do use it.  

That's it thank you for watching, this English language video has finished we've got more coming soon though.

I'm learning with happy, even though I can't learn altogether without subtitle. Although It is not a large numbers of followers in this channel, the learning effective isn't less than the other youtubers. However, I might be wrong in the grammar in this comment, I still wanna try it here though.

u can use it at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence without changing its meaning, right? however it's more used in conversation at the end of the phrase, am I right?

wait... did... did you just flash donald trump? thats priceless beyond words. I say this because I am watching this video 3 years after the posting of this video about the use of the word though. I am here because I am researching the Use of the word though because of Donald trumps Transcript that says "I would like you to do us a favor though". Its been bugging me but i couldnt put it into words what it was. I would like to know what you think of his use of the word though there because In my opinion its honestly the smoking gun...
