How to say a year (e.g. 1932) in Spanish

Here at SD I've learned that a year in Spanish, say 1932, is written and spoken as this: "Mil novecientos treinta y dos".
But, I'm wondering, is it also possible to say it as we would in English: "Diecinueve treinta y dos" (nineteen thirty two)?

No this is one of the many differences between english and spanish.
Mil novecientos treinta y dos is correct.

Maybe and just maybe you'll also hear mil 'nueve' treinta y dos. But don't say that way because it doesn't work with all the numbers.
(For example 1122, mil 'uno' veintidós would sound weird).
It's one of those things that you have to know but not use them unless you're really sure you're using it right.
