I get what you're saying, but I don't think that awareness of the phonetic meaning of the characters is something that comes from reading a foreign language without truly learning it. If someone reads the pronunciation of an Arabic word for you, that's not going to make you capable of writing your name in Arabic. And even then, English phonology is so divorced from writing that I doubt she could write her name if her only introduction to the Latin alphabet was through English. I feel like there's a bigger chance that romaji is known and used throughout the Human Village.
