2 days. 1 hour per session. A real, live jumpstart into American Sign Language.

Want to finally stop thinking about learning ASL and actually start signing with confidence? Join ASL educator Michelle Wierman for a free, 2-day live bootcamp where you’ll learn real, beginner-friendly ASL you can start using right away—without feeling overwhelmed, behind, or “not good at languages.”

Who This Bootcamp Is For

  • You’ve always wanted to learn ASL but had no idea where to start.

  • You want to connect more deeply with a Deaf or hard-of-hearing friend, family member, student, or client.

  • You love languages and are curious about Deaf culture and the beauty of visual communication.

  • You’ve signed up for ASL resources before, but never quite stuck with them.

  • You’re busy and need something simple, structured, and doable (not a 12-week marathon).

  • You know zero signs and want a judgment-free place to begin.

What We’ll Cover in 2 Days

Day 1 – ASL Foundations & First Conversations

Get comfortable with the building blocks of ASL so you aren’t guessing or copying random YouTube videos. Understand how ASL works (it’s not English on the hands). Use key handshapes correctly, so your signs are clear and readable. Fingerspell your name and introduce yourself. Use simple, real-life phrases and questions to start basic conversations. Avoid common beginner mistakes that make ASL harder than it needs to be. Plus: Live Q&A with Michelle so you can ask your “am I doing this right?” questions on the spot.

Day 2 – Signing in Real Life & Your ASL Next Steps

On Day 2, we’ll focus on actually using your new skills in everyday situations: Building short, everyday “script” phrases you can reuse in different situations. Practicing facial expressions and body language so your signing feels natural, not stiff. Understanding Deaf culture basics and respectful communication. How to keep practicing ASL without burning out or losing momentum. At the end, Michelle will walk you through a clear path to keep going. You’ll leave the bootcamp knowing how to introduce yourself, ask basic questions, and actually start using ASL in real life—not just “knowing some signs.”

Meet Your Instructor

Hey, I’m Michelle!



For over 10 years, I’ve taught ASL and watched it completely transform how my students connect—with Deaf friends and family, with their communities, and even with themselves.

I created this bootcamp because I believe everyone should have the chance to experience the joy and fulfillment of learning sign language—without needing a huge budget or tons of free time.

My teaching style is beginner-friendly, clear, and structured. I focus on real-life communication, not just memorizing vocabulary. I’m here to guide you step-by-step. Let’s learn, grow, and sign together.

FAQ

  • Do I need any ASL experience?

    Nope. This bootcamp is designed for complete beginners.

  • Is this really free? What’s the catch?

    The bootcamp is 100% free to attend. Michelle will share a paid option at the end for those who want a deeper, structured path to continue learning—but there’s no obligation to buy. You’ll still walk away with new skills and resources just from attending.

  • Will there be a replay?

    Yes. Replays will be available for a limited time in case you can’t make it live or want to rewatch and practice.

  • What if I’m not “good with languages”?

    ASL is visual, interactive, and often clicks for people who struggled with spoken languages in school. The goal of this bootcamp is not perfection—it’s getting you started and helping you build confidence.

  • Will this help me communicate with Deaf friends or family?

    This bootcamp will give you a strong beginner foundation, but fluency takes ongoing practice. Michelle will show you what to focus on next if your goal is deeper communication with Deaf friends, family, students, or clients.
