"Noni" is used in several different ways, but I assume the one you
want to know translates to "even though". It's used as a
conjunctive. Examples:
1. Watashi wa jikan doori ni kita noni, kare wa okurete kita. (Even
though I came on time, he showed up late.)
2. Tenki-yohou wa hareru to itte ita noni, ichi-nitchi juu ame
datta. (Even thought the weather forcast had said it would be sunny,
it turned out to be rainy all day.)
"Koredemo" is used when you make statements about yourself,
meaning "even this" or "even though I may not appear so". Examples:
1. Koredemo seiippai yatteirunda yo. (I'm trying as hard as I can.)
2. Koredemo mukashi wa taisou no senshu dattanda yo. (Believe it or
not, I used to be a gymnast.)
Hope this helps.
