Is although a preposition?

No, it is a conjunction.Prepositions are "relation words", meaning that they show the relation between words in a sentence; ie: "The dog is IN the yard", "His book was UNDER the table", etc.(In this context, I prefer to call Prepositions "Relations" or "Relatives" or even "Relators", especially when they start using even more precise and, imo, worthless terminologies like "Postposition" and "Adposition" based on where they appear in the sentence...but tha's neither here nor there)Conjunctions, however, are "joining words" that link parts of a sentence; ie: "I will go to the store IF I can get out of the driveway", "Nobody was hurt, ALTHOUGH it was a close call", etc.
