Page "Marie Antoinette" Paragraph 10
from
Wikipedia
Antonia's education was poor, or at least it lacked the rigorous training of Louis XVI's ; her handwriting, for instance, was sprawling and careless in form.
It was not so much the teachers themselves, though, that made her education sub-par, but rather her lack of willingness to contribute intellectually to her lessons.
She learned Italian, from Metastasio, on top of the necessary French and German, as well as Austrian history and French history, though from an Austrian perspective.
Conversations with her were stilted, and her ability to read and write German and French ( the ' universal ' language of Europe at this point in time ) was undeniably poor.
