Oddly enough, it wasn't easy for me to understand those words all written in kana, I'm getting more and more used to kanjis so read for eg. にほんご instead of 日本語 confuses me.
And yeah, a huge amount of words written in katatanas are based on words we can find in english, like テレビ which means television (shortened).
