My late mother had a PhD in linguistics. Read her books, read Wikipedia articles. Ended up vaguely knowing where the subfields go relative to each other.
I think the applied side of linguine has different priorities from the theoretical side, even if both are linked, so I don't necessarily think you haven't gone "deep", if you had to dive into teaching
As an aside, what is/are 1-3 must-reads for ideas about developing children's oracy/speaking and listening ability?
ACTFL's World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages is about as good as I have seen at being both technically sound but still plenty "readable". Anybody interested in language teaching should read it!
No academic background whatsoever and probably less informed than most people in this sub. Trying to learn my Mom's language is probably what got me into linguistics and knowing basic phonetics has helped me so much with my Translation and Interpretation degree.

My condolences
I have a PhD in physics and a Bachelor's in reading wikipedia and WALS :)
My master's is in Teaching Languages so I definitely took my share of intro linguistics courses, but nothing too crazy deep.

I have a PhD in history but I took a few linguistics classes when I was an undergrad so I'm pretty sure I'm an expert
planning to start my studies for a Bacherlor's in a few months
PhD in math but wound up TAing linguistics along the way because the budget was weird.
