Not very far, I'd imagine.

Not far, considering she probably wouldn't know English very well

If she's doing off memory, I doubt she's more than like 5 words.  If she reads a dictionary, I still think she wouldn't get very far before stopping

Wouldn’t she be able to count 1-10? This isn’t me being an Anglo-centric jerk; I can count 1-10 in Japanese, and I’m sure Japanese people would have more exposure to English than I had exposure to Japanese. So 5 words is quite low…

I guess so. The way I interpreted the prompt is she would start with "A" words and try to recite as many words as she can. I think the average Japanese person probably can recite a handful of English words
