I went to high school with a brother and sister who's family was from Panama. The family would regularly spend a portion of the year in the States and then a portion in Panama. They told me that when they were in the States, where they could expect to talk English in public, the parents insisted on Spanish being spoken at home. When they were in Panama, the parents insisted on English being spoken at home.
