I don't see any difference between soixante-dix-sept and soixante-sept if the letter T is pronounced in Soixante. So how can I tell if it is 77 or 67? Do we suppose to pronounce the /di/ in dix? But I also notice something like /de/ in Soixante-sept... What should I do?
Il faut aller en Belgique, là ils disent soixante-sept (67) et septante-sept (77).. ;-)
77 is pronounced like \swa.sɑ̃t.di.sɛt\ ( Composé de soixante et dix-sept : 60 + 17 )
67 is pronounced like \swa.sɑ̃t.sɛt\ (Composé de soixante et sept)
Maybe it is hard for you to hear the difference because in mandarin there is no difference between "t" and "d" sound.
There is no /de/ in soixante-sept.
Try this (French people pronouncing it) :

https://translate.google.com/#fr/ar/soixante%20dix%20sept
i think you can notice the differente
Pronunciation:
67 = soixan sept
77 = soixan dix sept
This is the difference in pronunciation. Very big indeed!
