Thank you for your patience, Mister Micawber.

But one more question, please.

I begin my sentece with "If I wanna say~," but you begin yours with "If I want to say~."

Could you please tell me what is the difference between those two please?

Thank you.

'Wanna' is not an English word. It is a transcription of the spoken pronunciation of 'want to'. People who write 'wanna' are either learners or illiterates.
