Contact some schools in your city and ask them if they can offer you any persian language education. Or why not ask some of your iranian friends in your city? Maybe one of them studies persian 1 hour/week and you could contact that teacher?

Persian is the english word for Parsi (Farsi). And since we now speak English in this forum, we should use the correct word, Persian.

This way foreign people will not be confused when they here the word Parsi. Persian is something most people understand.

Persian is from Greek and is the correct term. Farsi is Arabic, because they have no P.

I've read that the term Farsi referred to the Fars province, where the language originated. I'd thought that Farsi referred specifically to Iranian Persian, to distinguish it from Dari or any other regional differences. I don't know enough of the language yet to know what those might be, if any. Is there a difference between the Persian spoken in Iran and the Persian spoken in Afghanistan or any other country?

The province of Pars/Persis/Fars refers to the Persian tribes that migrated there. But I don't think modern Persian originated in Pars. I'm pretty sure it originated in Eastern Iran since it descended from Pahlavi language that originated during Ashkanian Dynasty. Middle Persian (also called Pahlavi) and modern Persian are both Eastern Iranian languages. This is different from old Persian that originated in Pars. But the name stuck because by then all Iranians had come to be known as "Persian" by most of the world. Dari is not a separate language and I'm not sure why some Afghans want to call Persian language Dari. Dari is a local dialect in Central Iran that Zoroastrians use. It is not spoken in Afghanestan or even other parts of Iran or even by people who aren't Zoroastrians. The word "Farsi" does not exist in English. There is one word for our language in English and that is "Persian". So please, call our language "Persian" when speaking in English.

Aside from an accent, no. Maybe a few idioms are used over there that we don't use and vice versa. It's kind of the like the English spoken in Britain vs. the English spoken in America.
