How to type phonetic guides in InDesign?

In Word, there is a function to add Ruby text as a phonetic guide. I am trying to make a textbook for learning Korean for English speakers, and would like to add the English pronunciations on top of Korean characters. Is there a way to do this?

 

 

Thank you

First, you will want the CJK version of InDesign, which you can install along with the English version.

 

But ID does not support ruby directly. Here's a recent discussion with some links and workarounds:
