Native speakers would normally say ...
"If I were you ..."

tomcoombs,

This is a case where you're encouraged to add an alternate translation from one of the languages you know.

I've added this one. However, in the future, you can do the same kind of thing on other sentences.

If I were you, I wouldn't do such a rude thing.

One of the rules of the Tateoba Project is to not change things that aren't incorrect, even if it is slightly old-fashioned.
