If your feeling particularly helpful, you could say some other words with the 'kh' sound aswell.

Just a quick word of advice. You don't write Russian words like this.

You are writing how it is pronounced. It is usually written like this: Khotite

Also, this is not the word "to want", this is the second person plural, "you (plu) want"

The infinitve (to want) is khotet'

(Stressed syllable is bolded)

Хотеть

Я хочу
Ты хочешь
Он / Она / Оно хочет
Мы хотим
Вы хотите
Они хотят
