How do we pronounce "Brychta"?

I watched the YouTube video but couldn't get last syllable.

Bry:bri

That is not a native English name, and most English speakers would not have definite knowledge of how it was supposed to be pronounced, but would have to make a guess based on spelling. In one YouTube video that I found, it was pronounced BRIK-t? (first syllable same as 'brick') which is probably what many English speakers would guess at, while in another the K sound was softer, a sound not found natively in most varieties of English, presumably mimicking the pronunciation in the original language, which I understand from the Wikipedia article is Czech.
