Hi  @Gvnreddy,

You can check RockTheJVM scala courses - top notch quality. The author also have YT channel that I recommend for you to visit. 
Another highly recommended resource is free course taught by Alvin Alexander:

Learn Scala with Alvin Alexander

If you prefer books - here you can try Programming in Scala book (written by Scala creator Martin Odersky)

If you want some hands-on with basic scala. I would recommend this course.

fwiw: you do not have to be a scala wiz to work on spark in scala.

Older spark articles are often about scala in spark (before python took over).

You will notice it is a lot like pyspark, but way way better.  typing, immutability, things like leftfold and typedLit etc.
Sad scala did not get traction...
