Today we’re studying another scene from the movie Duplicity.
In this scene a man and a woman are discussing how suitable they are for a job.
And the woman says: This is way over your head.
Over sb’s head is an idiom which means: too difficult or complicated for sb to understand.

So she’s saying that this job is too difficult for him, or he’s not experienced or skilled enough to handle it.

Then she asks: How long have you been working for Equikrom?
Equikrom is the name of a company and that question is a very useful one to remember: How long have you been + ing?

How long have you been studying English?
How long have you been learning the piano?
How long have you been working on it?
How long have you been playing?

Kia ora in Stick News today a car company in India has announced they’re almost ready to start delivering the world’s cheapest car.

Tata Motors is India's largest passenger automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturing company.
The company wanted to make the least expensive production car in the world and last year they unveiled the Nano.
