Yes, and the sides of your tongue naturally press against your molars when you say the sound.

But is the central part lowered a lot like when you roll the tongue like a u, or slightly down? Anyway thank you for answering!
- English (US)
The back of the tongue goes up and the front of the tongue is pulled back slightly.
I just asked my family to describe it to me, and even we do it differently than each other. I'm sorry I couldn't help more !
