um... I'm not good at explaining, but I'll try ^-^

sooo... we have two ways to pronounce the "s"; if there's only a "normal" s, we pronounce it like the z in English... and for some other words we use "ss", and this sounds just like the s in English, but we can't pronounce the ss if there's either an a, e, i, o or an u right before the s since it would turn the ss into a s (which again would sound like a z to you)

...and that's why we have the ß!!

I hope you could understand, if not I'm very sorry :c
