The "ei" is pronounced like the English word "eye".
The "ch" is a sound that doesn't really exist in English, though you may have encountered it in Scottish words like "loch". It sounds somewhere inbetween a "ch" and "sh", only it's formed at the back of the throat.
Also, like in French, the "r" sound is also more guttural.

The name Third Reich refers to the state that succeeded the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages and the German Empire of 1871-1918. In German, the state was known as the Deutsches Reich(German Reich) until 1943, when its official name became Großdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich).Although empire is a very close translation of the word Reich, the two words are not perfect synonyms. An empire implies the existence of a monarchy, while a Reich does not have a monarchy. Since the words Reich and empire have slightly different definitions, historians decided to use the German word, rather than the imperfect English translation.
German words for empire are Imperium or Reich.
