@Samara_ Yes, they look the same but sound different. It's something in English we native speakers don't look at, but people learning it are very confused by. This is how they sound:
Tough: tuff
Though: thoe (long 'o' sound)
Thought: thawt (aw, like in yawn)
Through: throo ('oo' sound, like when a ghost says "BOO"
Thorough: ther-roe ('er' sound, then long 'o' again
Throughout: throo-owt ('oo' sound, then 'ow', like when you get hurt
If you want, I can say them for you
