In Sephardic Hebrew, it is pronounced pretty much the way a native English reader would pronounce the transliteratioin you gave. The emphasis is on the second syllable of each word. The second word can almost be transliterated as something between bite and buy-it.

What does 'Shalom shalom' mean?

Shalom is the Hebrew word for peace. Shalom is used as a greeting like "hello" in English. "Shalom shalom" is often used like "bye bye" is used in English. The repetition of a word is used for emphasis. Biblically, 'shalom shalom', has been translated, 'perfect peace' (see Isaiah 26:3). The thought is complete peace, total peace.
