I am not into "chat", but let us improve your written English first.
Wanna" is not a word.
The correct expression would be "I want to".
Thanks a bunch" has a derogatory sarcastic tone about it, as though you were giving meaningless acknowledgement to someone who had done something which did not help you in any way, or more likely set you back.
A more appropriate expression would be simply "thank you".

Continuing along that line...
"I do know that this request is abnormal but anyway I though ..."
"Abnormal" gives the sense of being not normal in a pathologic way. A better term might be "unusual," which can mean it is normal, but rare. In the context of your request, I think "unusual" would have been a better choice.
You might also want to review the use of punctuation. A comma should be used when two sentences are combined with a conjunction. Compare: "It was a beautiful day, and I went sailing" (two sentences with a comma) with, "I went to the boat store and bought some sails" (no comma before "and," because the second phrase is not a complete sentence). Thus, there should be a comma before "but."

British and North American English are different, but there is rarely a problem in people of one area understanding the other. One of the most obvious differences is in spelling. This link describes some of the grammatical differences. Scan down to the section on collective nouns for an example. On this forum, you will see Americans refer to "math." Our British members will use the word, "maths" (plural).

Hello wizard,
What do you mean by "Chat", do you mean typing to and from each other or do you mean actually talking via a microphone?
There are groups on the web that connect you to people that talk the language you are interested in, and you help them and they help you. You could do a search. They actually talk to you by speaking and probably by typing too. I've never tried it but was tempted too a while back to get better at a second language i was interested in. But usually you hook up with someone who wants to learn your language and speaks the language you want to learn so you help each other, but granted this may take a little luck in finding too with some languages
First time I hear of him.
Pity I cannot follow it completely but is really funny anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF4qii8S3gw
And his was a fine piano player.
The proper use of units in the singular or plural can be confusing. In general, units are not made plural when their sole purpose is as a unit. That rule is followed more in writing than in speech. Thus, we would say a 90 degree angle or 5 Kg weight. I once had an editor who was a real stickler for detail. In those examples, since 5 and Kg are both nouns, that editor required that they be written with a hyphen, e.g., 5-Kg weight and 90-degree angle, which distinguishes them from alternative interpretations, such as 5 Kg-weight(s). In writing, one would say, "it weights 5 Kg" (not plural). In speech, you will often hear the plural used, e.g, "it weighs 5 kilograms."
If you are really into the nuances, I suggest Fowler's handbook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Dictionary_of_Modern_English_Usage ). It definitely has a British, not American bias. It is a great read, though the original author is long dead. I noticed that newer editions are carried by Amazon.

"Wanna" is not only informal, it is not a word at all. It is a shortened version of "want to" that is usually used when someone is whining. It is a lazy version that ideally should be avoided. It's the same with "dunno" for "don't know", or "Imma" as in "I am going to". None of them are words and should not be used.
Also, as John said, punctuation is very important. Many young people from other countries nowadays "learn" English on game chats and that sort of thing. The problem with that is that it is very uncommon for someone to speak real English there without shortening words or leaving out punctuation. It is a terrible way to learn a language.
If I may suggest something, this forum does have a chat. It is all written, but it will help you become more experienced with English writing. Perhaps you could try that sometime as well. You can click the "chat" tab at the top of the page.
Good luck!
Regards,
Matt
hi wizard,
Your written English looks OK to me.
Try to not use contractions in your word groups, for example wanna, cant, dunno etc
