Press your tongue against your lower gum to find the right level. Now stop pressing your tongue against your lower gum but do not let your tongue come up again and it should be in the right position.
Yes, that sounds right! It must not be curled into the back of your mouth, or you'll have too much rhoticity, and if you have the tip touching the top in the front of your oral cavity, you get a rolling r.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
