Wanna, gonna and gotta are frequently used in spoken and informal English, especially in American English.  If you watch any recent Hollywood movie or chat with foreigners online, you will be surprised to see their repeated use of these words. This kind of usage is called assimilation in which two or more spoken words “run in together”. Wanna understand how foreigners talk? Wanna speak like an American? Wanna know the uses of wanna and gonna?

(Do you know? : Wanna, gonna and gotta are making their way into literature, songs, films, etc. and almost all professors and college students exploit them to a great deal but OALD names them “non-standard” and merriam webster collegiate dictionary refuses to acknowledge their existence. (A logical question: What’s the use of dictionary if it is adamant like a puritan and doesn’t help identify and use “commonly and frequently used words in English”?)
