Abstract
BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing) is an Indonesian learning program for Foreign Speakers. Apart from being a medium for learning and conveying various information about Indonesia, BIPA teaching can also introduce Indonesian culture to foreign speakers. From year to year, international speakers who learn Indonesian continue to grow. This was accompanied by an increase in the number of BIPA providers in Indonesia. To support the acceleration of this growth, digital service is needed to make it easier to find native speaker tutors and adjust material according to the needs of foreign speakers. This digital service is a website that can bring international speakers and Indonesian language tutors wherever they are. This website is named BIPALOKA, which is a digital platform that bridges language lovers around the world who want to learn Indonesian from the community of Professional Indonesian tutors. The method used in making the BIPALOKA website is a waterfall model, which in the process is made in stages starting from analysis, planning, implementation, checking, deploying, and ending with maintenance.
