I don't see how Belle being a member of nobility should enable her to learn a Chinese language on her own, by reading a book.  There is no logic to this situation, whatsoever. She would require an actual teacher - whether in human form or a recording to help her learn a new language, along with a book. I'll say that Colette taught her. It's believable because they had a library and nobility tend to get educated, but I'm not sure about the EF.
