You pronounce it ShO - An
This O sound isn't the same in Galician as in English. You say the O like the O in operation. It's a very short O sound and nothing like the tradition sound of oh.
the á also means you say the 'a' a bit louder than normal. And the a is like the a in apple.

I would pronounce it shoh-AHN. I don't know what the correct pronunciation is though.
