As a German student he will have an internship this year (July - October) in Shanghai. He just started his Chinese intensive language course so he will be able to speak and understand a bit of your language. In addition to that he is speaking English and French as well. As a former Diplomat I am (the father)working right now in Brussels. Your answer will be highly appreciated

Regulations, rules, contract, etiquette are things you got to know beforehand. Dont worry though, as most Chinese are friendly and very tolerant to foreigners.
