You're correct. Without mnemonics or a similar method of Kanji analysis eventually you hit a roadblock. The alternative is learning to write but that's even more time intensive and you can't properly use it unless you are a schoolkid in japan or a salary man. Despite the shit that RTK gets, it's able to condense into 3ish months what it takes Japanese kids years to do. If you're serious about the language, mnemonics save you a shitton of time when it comes down to kanji recognition.
