The Anglicization of the German language can be seen throughout the country and is often disparaged as a form of foreign infiltration. It is indeed true that ever more English words are finding their way into everyday German language, as Germans often book an "Adventure" Urlaub (vacation), buy an "Outdoor" Jacke (jacket), ride a "Bike" instead of a Fahrrad, and talk about baking a "Cake" rather than a Kuchen.
