New to Java

Hi, I am new to Java and I am currently trying to learn how to do multiple row searching in 2D array..
I have an input of character array that starts like this.

private static final char[][] bigSquare =	{
		{ 'F', 'G', '3', '4'},
		{ 'F', 'G', 'C', 'D'},
		{ 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H'},
		{ 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H'}};

private static final char[][] smallSquare ={
		{ 'F', 'G'},
		{ 'F', 'G'}};

I am suppose to find the number of occurence of the small squares in the bigSquare in this 2D character array.. but I have no idea how to start,

I currently have this code

//b is the big square, r is the small square, bSize is the width of the big square, rSize is the width of the small square
             public static int checkOccurence(char[][] b, char[][] r, int bSize, int rSize) {
		int n = 0; //to return
		// TODO Search for square occurrences..
		for (int i = 0; i < b[0].length; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
				
				
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
		return n;
	}

The above example should return 2

Can someone point me in the right direction? :(
