Between 1 & 2 (the highest two levels). Although it's sometimes
simpler than regular Japanese conversation because of the limited word &
topic set you'll often need, and the ability to cut & paste many set
phrases into letters, conversations, etc. However, the ability to
negotiate, discuss product specifics, etc. all require specialized
knowledge of the product/industry and words required - thus, it's not
quite the same as having even a Level 1 JLPT.
