Just get one of these. They should be a bit smaller than Riichi tiles (which are smaller than standard Chinese tiles) but should still be easy enough to handle. Seriously, I've played Mahjong with cards before and they're very annoying to work with. Also, if you absolutely insist on getting cards, you can save yourself the trouble of designing/printing by getting this:

Another solution is to just have reference guides for the Chinese characters. I found that people learn to memorize them quick because they telegraph too much whenever they have to look up what a character means. My Mahjong group sometimes goes out to teach people how to play Riichi mahjong and this is the method they use. Basically only takes a day for most players to learn.
