There are two, progressive and regressive.
Assimilation is the process whereby a sound acquires qualities (e.g. nasality, place of articulation, manner of articulation) from a neighboring sound.
SOME EXAMPLES OF ASSIMILATION:
o Voicing Assimilation:
[ p l i: z ] ‘please’ - Progressive assimilation
voiceless
[ f I f T ] ‘fifth’ ('five' [fajv]) Regressive assimilation
Voiceless
o Place Assimilation:
English prefix /In/:
Evidence for /In/ = i[n]active, i[n]tolerable
[ I m p s ´ b ´ l ] ‘impossible’ Regressive assimilation bilabial
o Nasal Assimilation (Nasalization):
[ mæ d ] ‘mad’ - Progressive assimilation
nasal
[ b æ n ] ‘ban’ -Regressive assimilation
nasal

That word is used a lot these days. This could be directed to a foreigner whether or not he is able to fit into the culture or society of a particular society. Another popular way it is used is how certain nutrients are absorbed in the body.

Profuy's got a great answer again. Let me add that the progressive and regressive consonants are what make a difference between languages and what makes a German sound German when he speaks.
/S/ is normally voiceless. In English, when the singular noun ends in a voiced consonant, adding the "s" to make the plural changes the voiceless "s" to a voiced "z." Your father and my father make a pair of "dads." This sounds like "dadz." If a German speaker said that, he'd say "dats."
This progressive/regressive phenomenon is something you have to learn when you learn German.
