Kitchen Ceramic Tile

Just got new ceramic tile in my kitchen. Should the grout feel smooth like the tile?
When I walk across the floor barefoot, it does not feel smooth like linoleum. Should it?
I feel sorry for you. the grout should be lower than the tile, you should not feel it. But that can be corrected when you re-grout every year.
How difficult would it be for me to lay ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath?
I have never done this before. Is it something I should even attempt?
You should learn how to do it right. Contray to what others say it is not real easy for a first timer without the right tools and knowledge, but the experience can be rewarding if you do it right.
A good place to start your education:

DO NOT use mastic, or premixed thinset or the cheapo dry thinset!!! Use good quaility thinset. There are several CBU boards and a few membranes you can use for your tile base.
Good Luck
