Can I learn to speak creole in ten days?

If, by 'learn to speak', you mean to just learn the Creole diction and articulation, I think, possibly, yes.
It might even be easier to 'learn to speak'  this language in ten days if you speak other languages, such as French and/or Spanish.
But, why ten days!?
Why not take your time to learn the life, culture and history of this island, and enjoy the journey :)

I have two 'tense' questions: 1) when 'ta pral' is written together does it mean "maybe or might"? and 2) under what circumstances does 'ap' come between the verbs as in komanse ap vole?

t'a pral (contracted) → te ap pral (uncontracted) → indicates a past action that intended to happen in the future.
Examples:
Mwen t'a pral manje, ...
I was going to eat, ...

Nou t'a pral soti, ...
We were going to go out, ...

Li t'a pral kite madanm li, men madanm li te tonbe malad.
He was going to leave his wife, but she fell ill.

Maybe or might sentences are made with ka, kab, or kapab
Check out this post on MAY and MIGHT

"Under what circumstances does 'ap' come between the verbs as in komanse ap vole?"

This happens when the first verb 'acts' as a helping verb, and the second verb (which becomes the main verb) is in a progressive or infinitive form.  The main verb would indicate a continuing action occurring for the length of time indicated in the sentence.

Li kòmanse ap vole.

It started flying.

It started to fly.

Li te kontinye ap kriye.

She continued crying.

She continued to cry.

Li plede ap pale.

She kept on talking.

Lè timoun yo te tonbe dòmi, li te koumanse ap ranmase jwèt yo atè a.

Senyè tande kri mwen yo. M'pa ka pale

Senyè m'santi m'pa gen fòs m'pa ka pale
Senyè tande soupi'm yo. M'pa ka pale

Menm si loray kon vye van ap soufle
Kanpe la, met espwa'w nan Bondye
Lè lavi a parèt tou nwa pou ou
Rele Bondye, l'a fè limyè pou ou
Pinga w dekouraje lè wap soufri
Priye Bondye, met lafwa ou pou nan li

Kenbe fèm! Hang in there
Rete fèm! Remain steadfast

Pa kite'w twouble pou sa ka pase
Tout bagay yo anba kontwòl Bondye
Menm si w'ap soufri Bondye pa bliye'w
Se sèl nonm ki konn siye dlo nan je
Jou an pa twò lwen pou nou delivre
Kenbe lafwa nou, gen yon gran Bondye

Pèsònn pa ka bloke delivrans ou
Nenpòt kote'w ye, je Bondye sou ou
Pa koute gwo bri sapat enmi an
Ak pisans Bondye, n'ap pike devan
Pran kouray zanmi'm, menm si ou meprize
Gen yon jou fikse pou nou delivre

Gen bèl palè k'ap prepare pou nou
Kanmenm ou konnen viktwa se pou ou
Bèl kay, bèl oto yo, tout va pase
Se pawòl Bondye sèlman k'ap rete
Se pasaje nou ye, fòk nou soufri
Nan'on ti tan ankò nou prale rejwi

Nan mitan gwo pwoblèm
Li toujou la avè'n
Se pou nou kenbe fèm
Lè ou pa gen senkòb
Pou mete yon bèl wòb
Sonje Bondye Jakòb

Kenbe fèm
Rete fèm

Lè chimen an fènwa
Sonje se li k' sèl wa
Se li k' gen tout pouvwa
Lè'w santi'w meprize
Pinga w dekouraje
Nou se moun destine

Na kenbe fèm
Lè chemen an tou nwa
Se pou nou rete fèm
Piga'n dekouraje
Na rete fèm
Apiye sou Bondye

Rete, se pou nou rete fèm

I'm confused about using "pa" for possession rather than negation. How do you say "the car is not mine" vs the "the car is mine" (Machin nan pa m')? It's confusing because "The car is not good" would be "Machin nan pa bon" right?

You are right.  This can be confusing.
And yes, you got the translation right on "The car is no good"


Whenever you see the word "pa" in Creole, there's always a great possibility that it might be a possessive pronoun, especially if it's followed by a pronoun (contracted or non contracted) like this: pa mwen or pa'm, pa ou or pa'w, pa nou or pa'n, etc...

You'll especially be alerted when you see the Haitian Creole  negative indicator  "pa" right next to a possessive pronoun pa'm, pa'w, or pa'l, etc... in a sentence, like this:  Se pa pa'm nan. That's not mine.
. 
Just remember that with all the contractions (pa'm, pa'w, pa'l, pa'n) if you stumble on the contracted "pa't", this last one is not a possessive pronoun, it'S the contraction of the negative indicator 'pa' and the past tense indicator 'te'.

Here are some examples:

Sa se pa'm nan. (contracted)
Sa se pa mwen an. (non contracted)
This is mine.


Kote pa'w la? (contracted)
Kote pa ou a? (non contracted)
Where's yours?


Pa'm nan pi gwo. (contracted)
Pa mwen an pi gwo. (non contracted)
Mine is bigger.


Have you heard the expression:
Jodi a se tou pa'w, demen se ka tou pa'm.
Today is your turn, tomorrow might be my turn.


also,
There's a popular slogan in Haiti that says: Pa'm pi bon. Mine is better
People use it especially when they talk about religion :)


Sa se pa pa'l la. (contracted)
Sa se pa pa li a. (non contracted)
That's not his / hers.


Sa se pa ti bebe pa'n nan. (contracted)
Sa se pa ti bebe pa nou an. (non contracted)
This is not our baby.


Sa se pa't pa'w la.  Poukisa ou te pran'l?
That wasn't yours.  Why did you take it?


The car is mine.
Machin nan se pa'm.


The car is not mine.
Machin nan pa pa'm.
or 
Machin nan pa pou mwen (to make it easier)

Kisa ki diferans la ant 'mo' epi 'pawol'? Èske ou bezwen itilze yo nan yon fason diferan oubyen èske ou kapab ranplase youn ak lót? (M espere m poze kesyon sa a kòrèkteman).

Ah wi!  Ou byen poze kesyon an :)

mo in Haitian Creole means word or promise (spoken promise)
pawòl in Haitian Creole means a word, a promise, a pact, a vow, language, conversation, babbling, rambling, etc...

Is it appropriate to say "Mwen lanmou ou." to your children or is that phrase used only in a romantic sense?

The word 'lanmou' which means 'love' is a noun in Creole.
So you will use 'renmen' which is the verb ' to love' in English.
And no, it is not only used in the 'romantic' sense.

Mwen renmen ou.
I love you.

I'm translating "I remember how to do it." I thought it was "Mwen sonje kijan fe l" (I looked up "fe" and it is translated as "to do") but I'm told the better translation is "Mwen sonje kijan pou fe l." Why "pou"? Thank you Mandaly!

Mwen sonje kijan pou fè'l  is the correct translation.  "pou" is the preposition which translates the English "to" in this instance.  If you omit the "pou" in the Creole sentence, it would sound like "I remember how do it".  Something will be missing.

   Mèsi pou bèl repons Kreyòl ou.

do you know any songs that really show the haitian culture... kanpa, zouk... songs that are just really haitian sounding, if that makes sense

Haitian-sounding!?....
You're probably talking about Mizik Fòlklò Ayisyen, Mizik twoubadou, konpa, mizik angaje....
You can search Youtube or  Google for these types of Music, or  You can google "Haitian music".
There's a lot of Haitian music available on the internet for free.
Another great place to sample some Haitian music is Amazon.com MP3 stores.

I'm trying to make the rice with tomato sauce 9w/out lima beans) and it tasted horrible. was it b/c I used too much salt?

Sorry to hear that.
Haitians usually use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce.
They would use a "very small amount" just enough to brown the peas/beans etc...
They rarely add tomato "sauces" to white rice (rice without beans/peas/any kind of legumes)
In Haitian cuisine, if the rice recipe calls for "tomato" (tomato paste, sauces or fresh tomatoes), the tomato is usually added to green peas, sweet peas, mixed vegetables, green beans, lima beans and herrings, spinach, and/or other legumes.
Good luck next time :)
