Menemonics are an awesome tool. It's way easier to remember some dumb story than bruteforcing random scribble gook runes in your brain. The only catch is you have to actually use your imagination to make it work. For example actively imagine that you are -go-ing on a picnic and then see -five- funny benches that look exactly like that symbol. Imagine how you felt or how dumb you thought it was that they built 5 benches that look that way. This creates more pathways for your brain not to immediately forget how to relate the meaning, the pronunciation, and the symbol.
You'll of course still need the flashcards for the spaced repetition but it'll be way easier now that you have something to relate it to.
