The songs, chants, and cheers of each country's World Cup fans will be inundating your ears come Thursday, so here's primer on what loud noises you'll likely be hearing throughout the tournament.

Group A – Brazil – "Eu sou brasileiro"

The clapping chant is three lines that even a non-Portuguese speaker can learn easily. "Eu sou brasileiro, com muito orgulho, com muito amor." It then repeats. If you know basic Spanish, you should be able to pick out what that means: I'm Brazilian, with a lot of pride, with a lot of love. The chant has some tonal ups and downs, but you'll likely hear enough of this chant from Brazilian fans all World Cup long to get the hang of it.

Group B – Spain – "Yo soy Español"

Spain had plenty to cheer when they won the World Cup four years ago, and their favored chant will be back in full force. "Yo soy Español, Español, Español," the yell goes, letting everyone near you know that you are indeed Spanish. Heck, even Niall of One Direction knows the song. Let him and tens of thousands of screaming girls teach you how it's done. (Note: turn down the sound.)

Group C – Japan – "Vamos Nippon"

Japan's major chant takes from the Spanish word for "vamos," meaning let's go or come on. "Nippon" is the Japanese way of referring to their own country. Put the two together and add some "Oooooooo" and you've got "Vamos Nippon," a basic chant that is perfect for spontaneously encouraging the Land of the Rising Sun on to victory.

Group D (part 1) – Italy – "Chi non salta"

Italy's big chant is a repeating one-liner that goes with lots of hopping and jumping. "Chi non salta [opponent's name] é, é," the crowd chants, which basically translates to "[Opponent] do not jump." If you're a fan of the other team, don't jump, the Italian fans say as they jump and cheer. So when Italy plays Costa Rica on June 20th, you may hear the crowd chant "Chi non salta Costaricani é, é," while Italians jump up and down exuberantly. Here's a taste of what's in store.

Group D (part 2) – England – "Two World Wars and One World Cup"

One of England's favored chants is the song version of those tasteless "Back-to-back World War Champs" hats you see at highway gas stations in the United States. The chant goes to the tune of "Camptown races," and is pretty straightforward. "Two World Wars and one World Cup, England, England. Two World Wars and one World Cup, England all the way."
