Bit of a cliché here when it comes to "fast speakers". Most Germans don't even speak English, the rest of them speak with an accent. That must be why it turned out a pain in the ass for you. Working with foreigners can be tricky 'cause you can't simply expect there to be a golden rule that fits all foreigners. They come in abundant varieties. So you must get to know him first, just as with a common Chinese superior.

1. Clear language barrier ASAP. Start with most common phrases which you use every day. Establish a failsafe system so that whenever communication fails, you may immediately inform him and he will be able to fix problems with you without significant time losses.

4. Although it might already be overwhelming to work on your English, I'd still recommend that you start learning German, even just a little bit. Andere Länder, andere Sitten. Deutschkurs sollte sich als nützlich erweisen.
