0I'd say it's more natural to say "Yes, I do" but there's nothing wrong with "Yes, I want to [play soccer]." Or "Yes, I would like to."0-

0 The word you're hearing in the expression 01i00I want to02i00 is not 01i00too02i00, but 01i00to02i00. It's just an abbreviation of the full infinitive which follows 01i00want02i00.02br

01i00Do you want to ***?02br
00 Yes, I want to ***. 02i00OR0
