Episode 6
The symbol "ß" (Eszett, scharfes "s") is one of the few things that are truly unique about German. But what is it exactly? How do you pronounce it? And how did it come to exist?
In this episode I talk to returning guest Frauke Rüdebusch (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache) about where this letter came from, when and where it is used, and about the problems that arise because of its existence.
