Swift and Sprite

I'm waiting for the Swift tutorials to be available for us so i won't have to learn objective-c. my question is, can i still successfully learn Sprite on Treehouse if i only know Swift? Since the tutorials on Sprite uses objective-c, how will i learn Sprite?

I highly encourage you to learn objective C AND swift. knowing both will be very beneficial, especially in these early stages. A lot of third party libraries etc wont be ported to swift right away, so you will probably be working with both languages for a while.

that being said, if you want to do the sprite kit course using swift, you are going to have to "translate" the objective c code used in the videos to swift which is fairly easy to do if you have a grasp of both languages
