How to write a type signature with two parameters?

I try to learn agda and use the tutorial. I paste code for two mutally recursive sets

module MoreSets where 

data List₁ (A B : Set) : Set
data List₂ (A B : Set) : Set

data List₁ (A B : Set) where
  []  :                 List₁ A B
  _∷_ : A → List₂ A B → List₁ A B

data List₂ (A B : Set) where
  _∷_ : B → List₁ A B → List₂ A B

and get the error

MoreSets.agda:6,12-23
Unexpected type signature for parameters A B
when checking the definition of List₁

I assume a trivial error but cannot see it.

What is a simple tutorial to learn agda for a Haskell programmer which does not go deep into category theory?

You're not supposed to repeat the type annotations that you had in the declarations when you're defining the inductive type. So:

module MoreSets where

data List₁ (A B : Set) : Set
data List₂ (A B : Set) : Set

data List₁ A B where
  []  :                 List₁ A B
  _∷_ : A → List₂ A B → List₁ A B

data List₂ A B where
  _∷_ : B → List₁ A B → List₂ A B
