František Vymazal was a Czech polyglot and language textbooks writer. He was born in a poor family in Topolany near Vyškov and worked as a corrector in printing house. His life was quite eccentric and solitary. Later in life he lost his sight because of the hard work in the printing house, and he died in a traffic accident.
He wrote a widely used series of easy-to-learn language textbooks entitled Snadno a rychle (Czech for quick and easy). In his textbooks he taught the basics of more than thirty languages, including Turkish, Hebrew and Lithuanian.
Vymazal also wrote a cycle of short, mostly satirical, aphorisms in the style of Voltaire, entitled Zrnka (Grains), which are still quoted sometimes.
