Wollen can also be applied to food, but may be considered impolite and demanding ("Ich will einen 
Cheeseburger!" roughly means "I demand a cheeseburger!" 
Möchten
should be used instead: "Ich 
möchte einen Chesseburger!" = "I want a chesseburger!").
Wollen should not be confused with the future tense, despite the presence of the English word 'will' in 
the conjugations. However, 
will
 can also mean an intent or a document showing what one 
wants
to 
happen. So it is not so different from 'to want' as possibly originally presumed.
Modals with other verbs
When you need to use another verb with a modal (Such as expressing you would like or want to 
preform an action) the sentence's word order is somewhat different than it would be in English. In 
English you would state the subject pronoun (such as "I"), an English equivalent to the modal verb 
(such as "want"), the action you want to preform (such as "to eat") and than what the action will be 
preformed on (such as "hamburger"), making the sentence "I want to eat a hamburger." In German you 
must put the action at the end of the sentence, making the sentence "I want a hamburger to eat." (
"Ich 
will einen Hamburger essen."
)

Hunger and Thirst
In German, instead of saying, "I'm hungry.", you say "I have hunger." The same applies to thirst. Here 
are the German translations:
Hunger - der Hunger (hoon-gare) OR (hoong-er)<-Perhaps a dialect.
Thirst - der Durst
Like in English, these two words do not have a plural form. When using them, you don't need to worry 
about the 'der'; you can just say, "Ich habe Hunger." to say "I am hungry".
