@leahkoslosky -는데 is the English equivalent of “even though”
Here’s an example:
제가 고기를 안 좋아하는데 먹어볼 거예요 - even though I don’t like meat, I will try some
Also, instead of separating them into two sentences you can use “~는데” to join them together
For example, instead of saying:
제가 밥을 먹고 있어요. 사실 밥을 별로 좋아하지 않아요
You could more naturally say:
제가 밥을 먹고 있는데 사실 밥을 별로 좋아하지 않아요
