Dear Teachers

I would like to know if the word "gullible" is commonly used among the native English speakers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK and US?

Please advise

Thanks Raymott. A follow-up question. Is "gullible" usually learned in primary school
in the native English speaking world? Please advise.

That's not the way first languages are learnt. Upper primary school children should understand 'gullible'.
