At least four cases: Belle speaks with her daughter, Peggy, about staying home from school; Belle speaks with her daughter, Darlin' about gingerbread men; Peggy has a couple of brief conversations with female teachers at her school; and two female teachers talk about informing Peggy's parents about Peggy's possible pregnancy.
Notably, all men with speaking roles in this film are portrayed as sexual predators.

the woman "speaks" with both Belle and Peggy in her own language/sounds, attempting their language and with eyes/physical motions
