It's usually referred to orally as "Two thousand eight" or informally as "Oh Eight".
Unless you are in America, it is probably 'two thousand and eight'. In America, 'two thousand eight'. Who knows why they decided to do it differently, but they do. But, this year is (currently) 'twenty-eleven' as often as, or more often than, 'two thousand [and] eleven'.
