I'm not a German native speaker, but my language partner, who is German, pronounces it [ʃi].

It's she I'm pretty sure. Your teacher probably isn't a native speaker.

Right. Like she. But when we say Jet-Ski we use the english pronunciation. It always depends on how the word entered our language. "Budget" for example we try to pronounce french.
