Résumé de la leçon
尽管……还是…… means “although..., still....” It emphasizes that the second action happens despite a real difficulty.
Use 尽管……还是…… for a real fact or difficulty that does not stop the result. 尽管 introduces the concession, and 还是 shows persistence in the second clause. It is close to 虽然……但是……, but 还是 often highlights “still did it anyway.” Do not use it for imagined conditions; 即使……也…… is better for hypothetical “even if.”
