How does one translate "As appealing as it sounds, I have to study for my final exam." Emphasis on the first part of the sentence.

Don't try to translate it word for word.
Creole syntax is unique to Creole.

"As appealing as it sounds, I have to study for my final exam." 
Sa enteresan vre, men fò  m al etidye pou egzamen.

    How about:

    Sa ta ka bon, wi. Men, fòk mwen etidye pou egzamen.

    I think that's a good one.
    I have another one, "Sa ta ka enteresan vre wi. Men fok mwen etidye pou egzamen"
