Thanks - JLPT 2 is roughly half of the joyo kanji. It's certainly enough for a person to live in Japan and hold some types of jobs without any major difficulties, but it's still only semi-literate - although I can grasp the basics of a newspaper article (for example), I can't fully read a newspaper without the aid of my electronic dictionary. Since I'd like to one day become a translator, I have to shoot for Level 1 (and beyond).

References for what, specifically? Just for learning Japanese?
