Around should be there twice - once before (a körül specifies "around that", as opposed to e körül, which is "around this") and once after (kert körül is necessary because körül has to follow the noun it is positioning, the same as -on or -ben). It's a quirk of Hungarian grammar that takes some getting used to.
I put "A körül a kert körül egy magas kerítés áll." Is there any reason this is wrong?
--------- maybe duo wants the "a'll " where the "van " is in their sentence . . .

I put all instead of van. You accept it for houses, cars and wardrobes but not a fence. Is there a reason for this or is it the case that the computer hasn't been programmed to accept it?
--------- duo's way of censoring off-color words . . .

------ a ko:ru:l a kert ... the first "a " used to be "az " but because it comes before a consonant, the z goes away. so it was: az ko:ru:l a kert ko: ru:l and now you have az a kert = that . . .
