Hi,
I agree with CJ's reply. In addition, try to imitate the way native speakers of English write and speak, but be careful
when it comes to writing: wanna (want to), kinda (kind of), gonna (going to), I'mma (I'm going to), and the like
are not really English words. So, you might hear speakers use them in their conversations, but it would
