They can understand each other if they concentrate and talk slowly. We have a faroese girl in school and I can understand a lot of the written faroese, as it resembles Danish a lot.
The reason why people think Faroese people and Icelandic people cant understand each other, is because faroese sounds like all the sounds get stuck in the throat, where Icelandic is more in the open, if you know what I mean.
But it is easier to understand the written, than the spoken, in any way.
