"Wanna, gonna, imma, dunno" are words you would use with friends, but not at school or with your boss. For example: I am talking to my girlfriend and I ask "do you wanna go to the park?" She replies "I dunno."
But if I am talking to my boss I would say "do you want to go to the park?" And my boss would say "I don't know."
Wanna= want to
Gonna =going to
Imma = I'm going to
Dunno = don't know

Yes
Wanna would be like I want to or I wanna.
Gonna would be I'm going to.
Imma is usually if you yourself is going to do something and dunno is don't know. They're all more casual talk
