"Despite the fact that I didn't really understand anything he did, he seemed to do a lot of it."
This sentence could be rephrased: "Even though I didn't really understand anything he did, he seemed to do a lot of it".
This sentence could be rephrased: "Even though I didn't really understand anything he did, he seemed to do a lot of it".
Even though: Fiona says: "Despite the fact that I didn't really understand anything he did, he seemed to do a lot of it". "Despite the fact that" functions in the same way as the expression to "even though". Both constructions express a relationship of inequality between the two clauses in the same sentence, or introduce contrast between two ideas.
Fortunately: "Fortunately" is not synonymous with the "Despite the fact".
Thanks to: "Thanks to" is not synonymous with "Despite the fact".
