How do you say 1978 in Spanish please?

In English it is structured 'nineteen seventy eight' but is it the same structure in spanish? Would I say diecinueve setenta y ocho? Do I need to add in 'sigla' to indicate context?

Thanks for your help

That would be Mil novecientos setenta y ocho.

De nada.
As far as adding siglo or año, it depends on the context.

Right - I won't add it in this case, it is a reading from a text checking on pronounciation which starts " En 1978 Don Modesto instituye su escuela........." Thanks for your help.
