The talk will start with the definition of amenable groups. I will discuss various properties and interesting facts about them. Those will be underlined with representative examples. Based on this I will give the definition and some basic properties of sofic groups, which only emerged quite recently. Those groups are particularly interesting as it is not know whether every group is sofic.
