しかし + 句子

しかし connects contrasting content and is more written/formal than でも.

It is common in explanations, reports, and formal speech.

この店は高いです。しかし、とてもおいしいです。

This restaurant is expensive. However, it is very good.

でも fits casual speech; しかし fits formal writing.

Memorize “しかし” as one fixed chunk, then practice by replacing words in the example sentence. Learn the connection first, then the nuance.
