Difference between がくand がっこく? From what I know, がくcomes from "だいがく", (大学校 -> so がくis 学校, i.e. school), whereas my textbook also says がっこくjust means school as well? so what's the difference between the two? Would appreciate some insight, thanks!Sorry i typed it wrong, i meant the difference between がく and がっこう ^_^
