She is not well educated.

Leota's dialect shows she is not well educated. She shortens the word "an", "course", "nothin". She also doesn't have correct verb agreement with "we was" and "it don't". Even though some of the other statements could be true - she does not love her husband, she is a good beautician - the way she speaks does not reveal these things.
