a let ball is when your ball hits the net and still goes over (like, hits the very tip) on a serve. That is a let. If it doesn't go over it's just considered out. You can reserve, and if it's your first serve, it's still your first serve. Same with second.

Are there faults in ping-pong?
If you mean like when you serve, no. If you serve it into the net, it's a point for the other player. However, if it hits the net (on your serve) on the way to the other side, it's a "let", in which you serve it over again. Real rules are also that you must serve it from one side of your side diagonally to the other side, like real tennis.
