Xorlo changes only the semantics and usage of articles. The syntax is not 
changed at all.

Other changes you may want to be aware of are:

*Dotside: you put a dot on each side of a cmevla, and you can say "la 
.xavilat." instead of "la xavilot." (some place mentioned early in Genesis) 
and "la .labruk." or "la .belarus." instead of "la blabruk". "la .xavilot." 
and "la .blabruk." are still valid.

*Phonotactic changes: You have to worry about this only if you're going to 
coin fu'ivla (which I do a fair bit). The words "mliau" (to meow), "cionmau" 
(panda), "kriofla" (the spice clove), and "tarksako" (dandelion) may or may not 
be valid, depending on which rules are chosen. The CLL is not entirely clear 
on this.

None of this should keep you from learning Lojban, any more than having a 
French book in the previous version of the orthography. You know not to eat 
cigüe et ognons, even if it's spelled "ciguë et oignons". (Cigüe is poisonous 
and easily confused with carotte.)
