The last word is the Hebrew word for “Yes,” and is read “Ken”. This ad is a play on the phonetics of the 3 languages word for Yes and if you read them aloud they would read “Yes We Ken.”

French and Hebrew?

What's the link?

I get that's for a language school, but it seems a bit weak.

Everyone is going around spouting a mix of "Change! Woo-Hoo" and "Yes We Can!", this just feels like it's jumped on the bandwagon just for the sake of an ad.

The "Yes We Can" thing is quickly becoming done to death, but I like this execution. It's pretty clever for something with such an obvious borrowed interest.
