Can I learn how to use jQuery with just a basic JavaScript experience?

The question is: Is it bad to learn how to do special effects, table sorting, etc, using jQuery instead of learning the bits of code that bring that alive with pure javascript?

I have previously addressed a similar problem in a question, but I missed adding this extra inquiry!

Yes you can. Doing it in JQuery isn't bad. Everyone uses some sort of Javascript library. I love JQuery. Your odds of making things that work in all browsers go up quite a bit, you get the UI done quicker, etc.

Though having a bit of Javascript knowledge is good, because when things go wrong you want to be able to debug the problem.

JQuery.com has lots of good tutorials.
