In latin, all c's are pronounced like the English hard c, or k, the c never becomes a ch, sh, or s, sound. Even if an h follows the c, it doesn't make a ch like chicken. The e is always pronounced, as long as it isn't accompanied by another vowel, as the e in egg. Latin has very few if any pronunciation exceptions.
Just in case you didn't know, it is the imperative for of the Latin verb to look, so it means: Look!
Or, if it is fallowed by a nominative noun, it can mean here ___ is. ecce nos --> here we are.

ECK-keh
The c's are both hard 'k' sounds, and both are pronounced separately - like the 'k' sounds when you say 'siCK Cat'. Accent on first syllable.
