Learn JavaScript before jQuery because JQuery is based on JavaScript. If you learn jQuery first, you might get tired when learning JavaScript later because jQuery is easier to learn.

yes, because everything in jQuery you can do the same with Javascript. jQuery is just a JavaScript library.

Absolutely. Otherwise it's like learning abbreviations without knowing the words they're short for.

you need just JS basics +undestanding what is DOM and how it works.(+just check list of methods to work with DOM) Then you can start learning JQ. You'll forget after just few days using JQ how to get same things with Native JS.Cause you don't need it anymore .
