Do I have to learn U-SQL to query data in ADLS? Or is there a way to query to using SQL.

Yes,you have to learn U-SQL to work with Azure Data Lake Store or Azure Data Lake Analytics.
U-SQL is a Microsoft query language that combines a declarative SQL-like syntax with C# programming, enabling it to be used to process both structured and unstructured data in big data environments. Introduced in this document, U-SQL is part of Microsoft's Azure Data Lake Analytics cloud service, but it lets users run queries against multiple data stores in the Azure cloud.
If you familiar with sql, u-sql will be easy for you to start with.Please follow this get-started document to refer to some basic samples.
