What does "ー" and "私" mean in japanese?

Question:


for example: "I am robert smith" in japanese is" 私はロバートスミスです"
I'm a little confused as to what the dash means, but also whether the symbol I'm assuming means "watashi" is kanji or something different. Thanks for the help

Answer:


yep that's right. the watashi character is kanji. and the dash is to prolong the vowel like in your name the "ba" sound would be "baaa"
