Would it be pronounced "Chon tu"?
Now that's a tough one to put into print. I have seen it explained that the ㅓcharacter is pronounced much like the "u" in cut. I have noticed that it is closer to an "aw" sound. The thing is that these very minor differences in sounds (to an american) make it a completely different word to a Korean (think good vs food, the difference sounds HUGE to us, but maybe not to another foreign language speaker).
If you want to get close, pronounce it chawn too (with a hard t). Don't drag out the "aw" sound, if you take that sound, make it short, and try to mix it with the u from cut, you'll get about as close as I can without just saying it for you.
