I hadn't heard this espression before, but after a bit of research, I found that, first of all, I think there are two versions of this-- hacer sus pinitos, and hacer sus pininos, and they appear to be equivalent. The meaning appears to be referring to the first steps a baby takes, and is also used figuratively, for when you first start a new job or profession. If all the above is true, then it might be translated as:
hacer sus pinitos hacer sus pininos to take your first steps to start making headway to be at the very beginning

You´re on the ball my friend.
Y cómo se usaría en el contexto siguiente: He is taking his first steps in German. Last edited by Rusty; July 12, 2009 at 05:53 AM. Reason: merged back-to-back posts

Ok, pero hacer pinitos en algo implica apañarselas para comunicar, vamos que no se queda callado, es decir, que es algo distinto.
