Wanna = want to
Gonna = going to
They are used when talking fast or sending SMS text messages. Never in any kind of formal writing.

These words are informal words to be used amongst close friends or family; they are not proper English. They are contractions.
Wanna - want to "I wanna ask you a question." means "I want to ask you a question."
Gonna - going to "I'm gonna go to the store." means "I am going to go to the store.". Note, we would not say "I'm gonna the store." to mean "I'm going to the store.". "Gonna" is not used to describe actual physical movement. Rather it describes an intent to do something.

wanna - want to
gonna - going to
These are slang words commonly use in the states and this is an informal way of saying I want to and going to but if you are going to learn english i suggest that you avoid using slang words and use the correct forms. thanks have a nice day

"Wanna" and "gonna" are not words that you will find in a dictionary. They are just representations of sounds, the sounds we make when we say "want to" or ''going to" rapidly or carelessly. They are often used as a part of the shorthand that people use when texting.
Such writing is sometimes used when an author wants to illustrate certain aspects of a character by showing the way the character talks, epecially if the person had a unique dialect, accent or pronunciation.
Such words are not used in most writing.
