the rough pronunciations are as follows:

'rock-ih-meed
'beull-feh-meed
'kay-lah

don't pause on each syllable, Irish is spoken very fast with words being strung together so just practise saying each word fast.

I'd pronounce them more like RAKH-uh-mij, BWAYL-uh-mij, KHAY-leh

The "KH" combination is a gutteral sound, similar to the "ch" in "Bach" or "loch."

Different areas of Ireland pronounce things differently...this reflects more of an Ulster spin.
