I'm going to be in Berlin for ten days in early May. I usually like to take a short course when I'm visiting a foreign city. What cool courses are available to take in English in Berlin? Interests include art, science, music (piano), food/cooking, writing and literature.

Dunno about courses as such but you might wanna check the calendar here (scroll down), keep an eye on Berlin groups on meetup.com. This might be of interest. Also try asking here.

Learning a bit of German seems a thing to do. The best but priciest courses are at the Goethe Institute but there are thousands of other potential options...

Can't vouch for either of these but someone mentioned them to me recently - the Berlin Writers' Workshop and Berlin Art Class.

I kinda wish I'd done one of the half-day street art tour + workshop packages on offer. Here's an example I can't vouch for, but right idea.
