Question for speakers of British English:

I was watching a British Netflix show (The Gentlemen, created by Guy Ritchie) and one of the characters said "You're in the right ballpark" to mean "your guess is approximately right".

It's a common phrase in the U.S., but it comes from baseball. Is it really used much in the UK?

Americans also say "ballpark estimate" or "ballpark figure" to mean "rough estimate" or that it doesn't have a high degree of confidence.

looking for #StudyBuddy 🇬🇧 #English

I’m a russian native, b2-c1, have a #linguistics masters degree 😰
due to lack of practice feel downgrading

see it as studying through workbooks all together, calls maybe twice a week, everything discussable
personally prefer #BritishEngish planning to pass #IELTS in 2(?) years

if you know any #SpeakingClub servers or groups to learn English, native volunteering to help, please lmk
