I mean, I don't even have anyone to brag about my achievements to. (I don't know if here counts. I don't think you can characterize my activity like that fairly.) And rather prefer not to, anyway.

My best hope is that either the economic situation in Russia suddenly improves (and takes me with it), or I get a nice, well-paying job out of nowhere, enabling me to liberally enjoy entertainment in various languages... I mean, all in all, it's not the most outlandish of hopes.
The economic situation here isn't the best either (though the media would have you believe otherwise), I will probably never actually be able to visit Germany, so I'm not completely sure why I'm learning the language other than I just like music in it and want to understand it. I'd probably be better off taking a second shot at Spanish, but for now I'll stick with German. Maybe I'll win the lottery one day and get to travel to Germany and use the language (well what I would know of it at that particular point).
