Diary #1: a little about my work

I have been using this platform to practice my academic writing for the IELTS, however today I want to talk about myself. I got inspired by some other users who regularly write about personal topics. Likewise, I want to write about my current job as a legal assistant. I got recently hired by an American firm who work with American veterans. Although it has been an amazing job opportunity, sometimes I feel that my English is not enough. I am scared that I have to answer the phone and the customers will realize that I have a Latino accent. I have heard stories of Latinos who work with American customers, and sometimes they are rude to them just because they have an accent, but to be fair I have not experienced anything like that so far. Also, according to my boss I will not have to deal with a lot of calls in my daily life, but I am still afraid haha.

Got works too but I think was would be more commonly used in this case

In English adverbs like recently often go between the subject and verb, but I understand that in other languages you don’t want to break the two up. If you still wanted to have it as a subject+verb+adverb kind of format then something like “I was recently hired…” might be a good choice.
Since “an American firm” refers to a singular subject, it would be works with the S.
“Who” might also work in this sentence but personally I tend to prefer using “that” unless referring to a specific person

Although it has been an amazing job opportunity, sometimes I feel that my English is not good enough.

Could also replace feel with think but in relation to that part both work

I am scared that I will have to answer the phone and the customers will realize that I have a Latino accent.

I would add in “will” since you’re speaking about the future (as in you’re not saying that you have to answer the phone right now, so you would use something like “will” or “am going to” to indicate future tense)

Don’t worry about it too much! Your English is really good and while some people might react like that, there are plenty of people who will be perfectly fine with you having an accent.

For formal writing, titles are usually capitalized.

But if it's informal, it is your choice!

I am scared thatwhen I have to answer the phone and, the customers will realize that I have a Latino accent.

It sounds a little more natural to say "when I answer the phone" and to get rid of the and

I have heard stories of Latinos who work with American customers, and sometimes they are rude to them just because they have an accent, but t. To be fair, I have not experienced anything like that so far.

This sounds natural for speech! In writing, we would break it into two sentences because there are multiple ideas.

I am sorry people are having this experience, and hope it doesn't happen to you.

Your sentence is ok, too. I just cleaned it up a bit.

Since the rest of this post is written in a neutral style, not especially casual, I think it's less jarring without the "haha" inflection. "haha" is fine in casual writing to friends.

Good luck. I think most people are pretty tolerant, and are used to speaking to non-native English speakers when calling a company.

Because you are talking about a thing not a person, you can say "that" instead of "who". Also, because "the firm" is a singular entity, you should use the verb "works" rather than "work"

Although it has been an amazing job opportunity, sometimes I feel that my English is not enoughsufficient.

Although you aren't technically wrong, it's a little more common to say "not sufficient" or "not *good* enough" in this context ~ But your English definitely seems sufficient!

I am scared that I'll have to answer the phone and the customers will realize that I have a Latino accent.

Since you are talking about a hypothetical future situation, you can say "I'll" instead of "I" so that the tense is consistent throughout the sentence.

Your English is super advanced! I wish you all the best with your new job ^^
Also, there's nothing wrong with speaking any language with an accent, it tells people about where you're from :) I sincerely hope none of the customers give you a hard time about it
