What would you recommend to someone that is interested in starting a career in field linguistics and learning/working with endangered languages. What skills are the most important? If you were to start today, where would you start?

There are no courses focused on articulatory phonetics at my university. Is it possible to learn this on your own?

P.s. I watched your monolingual demonstration class a while ago and I thought that your multilingual skills were particularly useful.

What would you say is the single most important book on linguistics?
