How to pronounce Schön

Also, Germany is Deutchland if you are over there. We completely changed the name of the country. Go figure......
There are many words that are pronounced different in their native tongue, this is just one of the many.

Hey! I have met you! Yeah, I remember, you were that one guy, out of the 100s that I have talked to about my cue, that tried to correct me when I called my cue a "Shawn". Keep up the campaign bro, eventually you will find someone else who actually gives a f*ck about those little dots above the o.
I'm not German but i'm pretty sure its not pronounced "shown". I was taught the umlaut sound is like shaping the inside of your mouth to pronounce an "O"" but close your lips around it as if pronouncing an "ooo" sound. it sounds closer to an "uh" sound.
At least that's what my voice professors taught me.
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Ya vol mein herr. I have a Schon and that's the way I pronounce it.
Then I was taught totally wrong. And the way you guys are making it sound it shouldnt be pronounce shown or shawn but schoon.
Funny...
I was friends with Bob Runde's son Matt in college, we hung out quite a bit as well as spending time with his dad at home and at the factory. He pronounced it "shawn", I think he would know since it was his company...
My understanding is the true german pronounciation, with the umlaut at least, might have more of a "ur" sound like the previous poster mentioned. But as for the company name, it's "shawn" all the way. I cringe when I hear people pronounce it as "shown", but seems to be pretty common...

Then I stand corrected. Thank you.
I am a jelly doughnut.
A "doe-nut" or a "dow-nut" or a "due-nut"?
I was taught almost the same way: shape the lips to say "oh" but try to say "ee".I'm not German but i'm pretty sure its not pronounced "shown".
