Objective-C is a superset of C, so C won’t hurt you, and will probably even help a bit. Furthermore, some of OS X’s frameworks, like CoreFoundation, expose a C interface, and you’ll likely have to use them at some point anyway. But most OS X development uses Objective-C, so you’ll eventually have to learn it anyway.
