I am Arne from [[Kiel]], Germany (born in [[Lübeck]], grown up in [[Eutin]] and [[Flensburg]], emigrated to [[Westberlin]] and returned to my homeland [[Schleswig-Holstein]] in 1998). My main interests are the [[Faroes]] but also related topics in [[Scandinavia]]. 

Arne means [[eagle]], and List means [[art]] (in old Germanic and Norse). It's my baptismal name for some reasons, I had no choice. However, this name needs no nicknames, so I never got some, which could become popular enough, to replace the "art eagle". :-)))

==Languages==
I speak English and Danish fluently (or let's say: I read it every day, can follow the radio, and bother a fellow with those languages in a pub); but struggle with [[Faroese]]. 

As you know, a Danish speaker has no big difficulties with reading Swedish and Norwegian, but I cannot write in those languages (and have no actual need for it) However, if you write in any Scandinavic, I will understand you somehow. If not: Hope to switch into English.

Understanding Spanish, French and other Roman languages is sometimes possible by reading, but forget me in any attempt to form just one thought in it. However, I like Spanish very much by its sound :-)

Show me a written piece in Turkish (or even Arabic), and I'll read it loud, but... eh... what does it mean? However, Arabic grammar is impressing me, but I just know the alphabet and some words, but I can use a dictionary and a grammar book ;-)

==Contributions to Wikipedia==

First and foremost, I am writing articles in the German category [[:de:Kategorie:Färöer]]. I am also administrator of the [[:fo:Forsíða|Faroese Wikipedia]], make a [http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Färöisch Faroese-German Dictionary] and from 2007 a [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Faroese_language Faroese-English Dictionary]
